Observation details
After much debate, we think this is a PAGP. Photographed 6/1/22 around 4pm at the east end of Yugit St. Unfortunately only back of screen shots are available currently, but they appear to show shorter primary projection. Much of the confusion arises from the fact that we saw a female AMGP with white down the sides earlier in the week; however, the white on this bird has more uniform width and the bird appears to be a male by all dark cheek patch. Open to thoughts if you have more experience telling golden-plovers apart. samsimon387@gmail.com, feel free to share what you think.
