Observation details

Here is a quote from my journal, "The first part of the dike road gave us one single Caribbean Coot, which I did not even have on my checklist or on David Ascanio’s checklist for Hato El Cedral. We also picked up a few Pied-billed Grebes, and best of all, 16 Stilt Sandpipers and a Collared Plover! I inserted five photos of this bird taken by Carl Wishner and one by Kim Hartquist.
