Mike,
Daniel Farrar recently recorded both species in Coos, the knot was the
latest "spring" county record. I am sure these June birds are likely
non-breeders or failed breeders (later in the month) but who knows for
sure? It is sure cool to see them though- nice find as they are a pretty
rare commidity this time of year most years!
I saw a dozen Semipalm Plovers and 2 Westerns at Bandon yesterday, but I
don't think that is unusual. Figuring out whether mid-June shorebirds are
coming or going or just hanging is another story.
Merry migration???
