Re: [IBLE] BB Plover & SB Dowitcher @ Blacks Creek reservoir

Is that a Black-bellied in addition to the American Golden or was the initial ID wrong? I got out there just as the sun was setting and found a plover near the dam. It was getting too dark to study fine plumage details very well but it did seem like it had longer wings and a darker cap, consistent with American Golden, but if you were out there any earlier than me I’m sure you got a better look.

Thanks,

Among other shorebirds … Plover on S shore, Dowitcher in mudflats on E side near shrubs.

A single Common Tern too.
