Sept. 4, 2009 Memphis, TN Need input, see what you think..................wishful thinking in Memphis. Earlier in the week, I found a Golden-Plover that shows many field marks of being a very, very LOST PACIFIC. I know it sound pretty far fetched but the bird is interesting to say the least. I've posted photos at the following web page and would like comments on the ID of the bird. Be sure to look at the last photo on the page as it was taken this afternoon. I heard the bird give both an alarm call and a very distinct two note call but I have poor hearing and don't trust my thoughts on those but it did not sound anything like what I'm use to hearing. _http://www.pbase.com/ol_coot/ensley_plover_ (http://www.pbase.com/ol_coot/ensley_plover) Be kind, after all I'm stuck here in the middle of the wide USA;o) Good Birding !!!
