Anyone down Chincoteague or Assateague this week? I have some friends who
have a home on CI and do some birdwatching at the park and on the wildlife
drive there. They mentioned they were out on the weekend on the drive
birding the mudflats and spotted what they think is a European Golden
Plover. I didn't get a description other than they thought it was big for a
shorebird and matched the description in the guide they were using. I was
thinking that if it is the European plover, then it might be a rare bird for
that area and wondered if someone else had seen one there or perhaps might
want to check it out. Of course, I am not great on shorebirds so have to ask
for help from the group in making identifications and/or knowing what is
rare or not. J
Thanks,
Joan
