A genus of small plovers, a type of shore bird found in open, sandy, or grassy habitats.
From Greek eu- (good, well) and dromos (running), literally 'good runner,' referencing these birds' characteristic swift, graceful running movements across terrain.
These plovers have a clever hunting trick—they run really fast in short bursts, then freeze suddenly to spot tiny insects or invertebrates in the soil, making them look like they're dancing.
