[Bristol-Birds] American Golden Plover - Greene County

Don Holt and myself (Rob Biller) observed an American Golden Plover in Greene 
County today (~6:00pm).  The bird was in the field parallel to Turner Lane on 
the western side of the road.  
To get to this location, take the Fish Hatchery Rd exit off of I-81 
(Southbound - next exit after the 11E, Greeneville Exit, Northbound - next exit 
after 
Lowland [Hwy 160] and before the 11E, Greeneville Exit).  Turn east onto  Fish 
Hatchery Road (Hwy 340) - left if coming off the southbound exit, right if 
coming on the northbound exit).  Go about 1/2 mile past the turn for Hwy 348.  
Turner Lane will be on the left running between two buildings.  After you pass 
by the two buildings. the bird was found about 3/4 the way down the road in the 
field on the left side of of the road.  

It was with lots of Killdeer and 1 Pectoral Sandpiper.  

We studied the bird for about 45 minutes makind sure of the ID.  I will have 
full details when I post the full trip report tomorrow.  This is just a heads 
up for anyone wanting to try and relocate the bird tomorrow if the rain holds 
off (or if it doesn't ;) )  

I made it home tonight around 9:30pm after starting the day around 7:00am.  
Good day to be in the field, but I am worn out.
