TexBirders,
Wow! What a rush yesterday (Saturday August 2nd) when I heard through
the "grapevine" that a Collared Plover had shown up at Hargill,
Texas. This is only the 2nd USA record. The bird was at a playa lake
at the intersection of 1st and Lincoln.
My wife and I arrived about 3:15 PM and found Mary Gustafson and
Tiffany ???? looking at the bird. After a brief look through Mary's
scope, I set up my camera and tripod and started taking photos. We
left about 5 PM after shooting about 300 photos. It was very hot and
the heat distortion didn't allow me to get photos as good as Dan
Jones's, which were taken about 3 hours earlier. Many, many thanks to
Dan for finding this bird and getting the word out quickly.
My "fuzzy" photos can be seen at:

Enjoy!
