Thanks once again to an alert from Rob Stone, I got the chance to see approximately 40 American Golden-Plovers at the Pine Island Turf Nursery this evening. Earlier in the day he had 75! What\u00a0a treat to see these beautiful birds, I even managed to get close enough for some decent photos (distant and heavily cropped, but useable!).<\/p>\n

I also think that I had one Black-bellied Plover, here is a photo of that bird.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a>
I have this as a Black-bellied Plover because of the size of the bill and the the white undertail coverts. Please comment if you don’t think this is an accurate ID – Thanks!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I also had two American Pipits and 4 Horned Larks while I was out there. The American Pipit is for some reason not a bird that is on my radar. When I saw these two birds, I did not know what they were. It was a case of shoot first and ask questions later. Unfortunately I did not get any quality photos of the birds. The following really should not be posted anywhere, but since it is a life bird for me…<\/p>\n

Life bird for me – American Pipits out at Pine Island Turf Nursery. I wish I’d gotten better photos!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

**If you go to the Pine Island Turf Nursery, please stop in the office and ask permission to bird there. The people there are really nice.**<\/p>\n

I also made a quick run through Turtle Bay Road, where I found three American Golden-Plovers and about 75 Killdeer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
