On Sun mid Morning I went to central Sod Farm on John Brown Rd near
Queenstown. First all I had was killdeer in the fields when another car
with a birder pulled in behind me , he introduced his self Dave palmer was
the name I think.He also saw only killdeer till he started veiwing the
stripped sod area next to the brickhouse here he had 2 American Golden
plovers, I soon located them one still had a lot of Breeding plumage left
though in a molt. he pulled Off for parts unknown without us seeing anything
else.
However no more than 5 minutes after he pulled off a small flock of
