Observation details

Continuing. Seen as it fed along the west shore near the swim beach and to the north. Apparently smaller bill than Black-Bellied Plover. Strong contrast in cap and white supercilium. Golden appearance to head, back, and wings, enhanced by the lovely morning light. Flushed from shore (along with Killdeer) by Northern Harrier. Gray underwing; no black armpits. Lifer.
