Observation details
Spotted by Graham while we were scoping the field ponds from the parking lot. Males in breeding plumage identified as Golden Plovers by the gold spots on their black upper parts and their dark caps. Further study in the field revealed white undertail coverts and white markings on flanks. Primary projection appeared shorter than that of an AMGP in subsequent review of photos. We observed the birds through scopes for 15-20 minutes.
