I saw two American Golden Plovers and four Pectoral Sandpipers by the race track fields. They were in a farm field that was being plowed on the west side of s.w. 132 ave. and east of s.w. 134 ave. They were north of s.w. 328 st. and south of s.w. 320 st. The birds were very nervous and flew to the east side of s.w. 132 ave. and then back to the west side of s.w. 132 ave. Both s.w. 132 ave. and s.w. 134 ave. are dirt roads, s.w. 132 ave. is a public road but not s.w. 134 ave.

Also present to help keep them nervous, was a Peregrine Falcon, Merlin, Kestrels and a Bald Eagle. The birds were in basic plumage.
