Observation details
Two small plovers on the white mud flat just south of the photo blind - partial breast band did not connect in center as it would on Semipalmated Plover - dark ear patch behind eye - thin but relatively long bill - pale mantle the color of dry sand, not the dark wet-sand color of Semipalmated Plover - typical of Snowy Plovers these birds were reluctant to move, even when approached rather closely - camera malfunction overexposed all of my images (drat!)
