Re: [cobirds] Semipalmated Plover at Clear Creek and Lowell Blvd. Adams County question

A bicolored bill would rule out Killdeer of any age.

Strong clues about the Clear Creek plovers are time of year, habitat, and proximity of adult (mom and dad) Killdeer.

Hi Joe!

I actually have a question about this. Can fledgling Killdeer have a bicolored bill like adult Semipalmated Plovers, or would a bicolored (yellow and black) bill on a plover with a single stripe around the neck be a satisfactory number of field marks to rule out any aged Killdeer?

Thanks so much!

The birds are happy, and so am I
