The American Golden-Plover observed by Rob Biller and Don Holt yesterday
evening on Turner Lane in Greene County was still present this morning
when I visited the site.
I arrived at 7:53 and immediately spotted the bird on the left side of
Turner Lane just past the barn complex at the entrance. I observed it
for the next half hour, savoring details of plumage and behavior. I'm
not familiar with the molt cycle of American Golden-Plover, but I was
somewhat surprised to find this bird still in basic plumage at the end
of March.
The weather was darkening as I left, so I think it unlikely that the
bird will fly immediately. During the time I observed it, it appeared
to be resting, preening, and occasionally feeding--generally taking
things easy.
If anyone within reasonable driving distance wishes to have a go at
finding the plover, I judge the odds of success to be pretty good.
By the way, as far as I know, this is the first record of American
Golden-Plover in Greene County. Nice find, Don and Rob.
