I finally got a chance to look through the hundreds of Snowy Plover
pictures I took in May south of Bandon in the area between China Creek and
New River. One of them may be of the same bird reported by Wink Gross on
9/12. I see the bands as orange above yellow and blue. Link below goes to
the photo ... the only one I have of this bird. It is heavily cropped but
in no other way altered.
Kathy and Dave, what do you think? Did one of your Bandon birds head north?
