[cobirds] Re: Black-Bellied Plover (not American Golden), SW Weld County

Plovers were not continuing this morning, though there was quite the group of shore birds at the same run-off spot including 170 Ring-billed Gull, 6 Franklin's Gull, 2 California Gull, 1 Great Egret, 8 Snowy Egret, 9 Baird's Sandpiper, 11 Killdeer. Exciting as it's within walking distance from my house -- after birding for about 20 minutes, I noticed I was just over 900 steps on the day. Ha!

My full checklist from this morning:

Thanks,

Updating the ID on my previous post, to correctly reflect they were Black-Bellied Plovers, not American Golden Plovers, after reviewing field guides and seeing they had white under tail coverts. Still -- a very cool, unexpected lifer on my way to dinner this evening.

Checklist has been updated with actual media, rather than back of camera shots.
