I went and looked this afternoon and got good looks of the same 2 plovers in flight. They are Black-bellied based on having light rumps and dark axillary coverts/wingpits.

I see the humor yet many birders are also hunters, I among them. And we may be the most obedient, follow-the-rules hunters.

They are so handsome.  What beautiful photos, Ceredig.

Based on a discussion on the Idaho Bird sightings and discussion page, these are probably black-bellied plovers.  That was based on Bill size, more in distinct supercilium, breast streaking instead of barring, and whiter bellies instead of gray bellies. 

Thank you, Ceredig. Your long lens blesses us all.

This past Friday, Big 71, prime number so I can’t split it.

I also just realized something. It was one thing to send a copy of the cartoon to individuals, but, I put it on a public forum. There could be complications, permission not given etc.. I’ve sent Cliff a note to remove the post to keep me as well as ible out of any trouble.
