In Reply to: American Golden Plover, S. Dade Ag Fields, 8/29 posted by Toe for Larry
Here is a poor digiscope photo through lots of heat shimmer of the American Golden Plover. There is a flock of Black-bellied Plovers present so check though all of those birds to the find the smaller, darker American Golden Plover. They were in the freshly plowed field west of the irrigation thing and east of the white tank. They seemed skittish perhaps because of the other fields being plowed. They flew to the south west of the white tank closer to s.w. 224 ave. into the grassy field in that area. The was one Upland Sandpiper east of the irrigation thing and one by the Horned Lark spot.
The Horned Lark fields are all plowed up, the lark could still be around, I did not see it though.
