A knowledgeable Piping Plover researcher told me today:
" I'm betting it is a bird originally banded along the
Gavin's Point reach of the Missouri River (between Nebraska
and South Dakota) by the group from Virginia Tech."

Several are working to help locate the actual breeding population from
which the South Holston Lake Piping Plover was captured and marked.
The Piping Plover (Atlantic Coast and Northern Great Plains populations)
was announced in July 2014 as designated for a regular five-year review
under the Federal Endangered and Threatened Species Act. The Piping
Plover is a Federal Threatened species in the Missouri River area shown
above. The comment period ends 8 September 2014.
More information on this bird's known point of capture and marking will
be passed along to Bristol Birds Net as soon as it is verified.
