I want to thank Dan Jones for posting about the American Golden-Plover.  
I had been putting off going to the Progresso Sod Farms and with the 
weather people talking about possible rain in the next few days. I 
thought better go see what I could find before the roads get Muddy. I 
went after my trip to the Donna Res where I watched the Swallows while 
they sat or flew.  They have so much energy and their in flight beauty 
always makes me smile.

Back to the main reason for this email I did find the American 
Golden-Plover and got photos even as it was close to the road and with 
over 30 Killdeers. So when looking be sure to watch for the Killdeers. 
Here is a list of what I saw.
