[Bristol-Birds] American Golden Plover in Washington Co, TN

On the final day of my rookie year of birding (my first recorded bird sighting 
was Oct 1, 2006) I spent the morning banding birds with Rick Knight on Roan Mt, 
which is always a treat.  Hightlights included banding a sharpie and a fly over 
by a peregrine falcon.  In the afternoon Rob Biller and I chased Rick's Baird's 
sandpiper in Limestone but we struck out on peeps.  We did find an American 
golden plover, though, which is likely the same bird reported by Rick 
previously.  It had apparently moved to another field.

  *Pond is located on Clark Rd off of Washington College Station Rd.  If you 
take Wash College Station Rd south from 11E you turn left on Clark Rd which is 
about 1/8 mile before the railroad crossing.  The pond is about 1/4 mile on the 
right.
