I should have done more research (i.e., look at another field guide) before I
sent this out. Sibley shows the Piping Plover posed like my photos, where you
can't see that the neck band is broken (he does have a line pointing to the
breastband in one of the pictures that says "usually broken", but who
reads?!?). The other 3 field guides I have all show that feature plainly.
Some of the other photos I have show that this bird's neck band meets solidly
in the middle, So this is a pale-looking Semipalmated.

Subject: [birdky] RPT/RFI--Piping Plover at Minor Clark Hatchery?
Yesterday while I was birding at the hatchery, I took some photos of a small
plover. At the time, I thought it was a Semipalmated Plover (there were several
of those present). When I got to looking at the photos last night, I found one
that looks very pale, and I think it might be a Piping Plover.
I would appreciate it if some of the experts could take a look! I posted 2
pictures on my WebShots page:
