My wife Christine and I saw an American Golden Plover at the new
wetlands here in south Miami-Dade. Mort Cooper received the report from
a birder who called him, unfortunately we don't know who this birder
is. Thanks Mort and the other birder whoever you are.
Directions: Chekika is about 15 miles north of Homestead. Go west on
s.w. 168 st. from Krome ave. (s.w. 177 ave.), go about 6 miles to a T-
intersection, turn left and go about 3 miles or so until you can only
make a left onto 216th St. Go east 1/2 mile and make a right onto s.w.
232 Ave. Go about mile or so until you see the wetlands area on the
right or west side of the road. Park here and scope the area. You can
also go a little farther down to another access point. At this other
access point is where we saw the bird, it was feeding in the mud near
some puddles.
