The Oriental snowy plover is a migratory bird with solitary habits that commonly visits Taiwan during the winter, when it can be seen racing across the mud and sands at ocean's edge in pursuit of tiny crabs or other small prey scurrying back to their holes.
東方環頸是台灣地區常見的冬侯鳥，它們性喜獨自行動。在潮間帶的泥濘地上，常見其快速奔跑，追食來不及回洞的小招潮蟹或其他小動物。
