About this species
The semipalmated plover (Charadrius semipalmatus) is a small plover. Charadrius is a Late Latin word for a yellowish bird mentioned in the fourth-century Vulgate. It derives from Ancient Greek kharadrios a bird found in ravines and river valleys (kharadra, "ravine"). The specific semipalmatus is Latin and comes from semi, "half" and palma, "palm". Like the English name, this refers to its only partially webbed feet.

El chorlo semipalmado, chorlitejo semipalmeado o chorlito semipalmado (Charadrius semipalmatus), es una especie de ave Charadriiforme de la familia Charadriidae. Es una pequeña ave limícola, que está extensamente distribuida.
Cría en el suelo de playas del norte de Canadá y Alaska. Es migratorio e invernante en áreas costeras desde los Estados Unidos a Patagonia. En Europa es divagante y extremadamente raro, aunque es difícil de precisar debido a la dificultad de diferenciarlo del chorlitejo grande.
