Dear Texbirders,I've added four images, taken at Bolivar Flats yesterday, the
6th, to my old InspectorBob Photobucket account.Â
Bolivar Flats 6-Jan-2014 Photos by INSPECTORBOB11 on Photobucket
Images 5002, 5003 and 5004, taken in a seven second span, are of a
Black-bellied Plover. Â 5003 and 5004 show how the plumage pattern looks Whale
Shark-like in the rather strong, side lighting. The colors look "warmer" than I
would have expected, even if the image could be slightly overexposed. I welcome
comments and corrections.
The fourth image, 5019, is the recently discovered Mountain Plover, in a
similar pose as in 5003 and 5004.Â
Thank you, young couple at the bollards, for getting me pointed in the right
direction on the flats. Â It was near low tide, around 10:15 am, and the
Mountain Plover (lifer) and Black-bellied were feeding on a water-isolated bar
about 200 yards east of Rettilon Road and about 75 feet out from the mud line
on shore. Piping Plovers were also nearby.
Stay warm.Paul Sellin
