Greetings. Andrew Baksh, www.birdingdude.blogspot.com , located TWO, Bahamas
plovers (among 40+ pipers) at Breezy Point, Queens County, NY today. Each bird
was marked in February at the same site on Andros Island, four days apart!
Neither of the birds nested on Breezy Point (although another Bahamas bird did,
successfully). It usually takes a scope to find a marked bird and to be certain
of the colors.
Read Andrew's blog, above, to see/learn more about his sightings.
Piping Plovers are on the move. You cannot find a Bahamas plover unless you
look! Good shorebirding.
