   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 
birds came in from somewhere landing in the same field    3 Buff Breasted
