Observation details

Continuing…My second attempt. First notice were the bright orange legs with my binoculars, got the scope on the bird. I was able to get good looks, wasn’t constantly moving, it stood still for minutes and only associated with one other Plover. It was a bit larger than the near by Semipalmated Plover. Bill was black and more stout. Wider breast band than Semi and thick brown auriculars, lores.
