Observation details
Exact count. At the extreme south end of the agricultural area of the Dell Valley is McCoy Road. Continuing north from McCoy on 1437, the next named cross street is Guitar Road. The birds were in the large dirt field on the northeast corner of Guitar and 1437 and were viewed from Guitar. Observed through binoculars with excellent light for several minutes at 100-150 yards as they foraged in the field. Very plain plovers - brown above, whitish below, with fairly pale legs. No breastbands or strong markings of any kind. They did not vocalize. Photos attached. Despite numerous trips and much looking these are only my second Mountain Plovers for the Dell Valley and my first since November, 2007.
