Hey all, My Piping Plover crew leader told me of a potential Wilson's Plover in the impoundments at Shirley Marina County Park from a walk last night with her dog in the area, and it was verified today by another fellow birder.
I believe you are supposed to have a permit (~$15 for the season) to park in the marina lot so keep that in mind, but it doesn't seem to ever be very busy during the week. Walk up on the impoundments at the southeast corner of the parking lot. The bird was seen both last night and today in the northern section of the impoundments, and today also was seen flying to some nearby pannes. The pannes also were hosting multiple Little Blue Herons and other fun species. Email if you need better directions. Good luck!
