On my way up my long driveway this morning I had 3 horned larks, 9
meadowlarks, 17 killdeer and 28 semi-palmated plovers, which look like
half-size killdeer with just one breast band. Oddly and frustratingly, my
party missed all four of these species during yesterday's Cape Charles
Christmas Bird Count on the Eastern Shore. Oh, well.
