Sketch and notes of Wilson's Plover seen this date and again on 6-18-07.
Observation details
About size of Semipalmated Plover, a little bigger than a Snowy Plover, but with the 'look' of a Snowy, tho had a larger thicker bill. At first, the bill looked smaller than I had expected, but distance gave this illusion, for the bill looked larger when it was closer to my viewing angle on 6-18-07. The bird had heavy feather wear. The bib was complete, only slightly darker than the back; legs were dull pinkish. Head pattern as pictured with darkish-black lores between eye and bill, and white forecrown. Other details noted on sketch.
