My small tribute to a large talent, with the intriguing name of Robin. Was it given, or was it career induced ? With that name and his varied interests, I wonder if he was a birder ?
Today, spurred on by the 3 A.Golden Plovers reported by Tom Burke & Gail Benson, I was able to find them in the same field as described, between ~ 4:30 & 5;20 PM. The birds moved around quite a bit during this time, landing on a few of the dirt areas, as well.Twice, close enough to get some decent photos. There were also ~ 12 - 15 Killdeer out there, as is their wont at this time of year. As I was leaving, Shai Mitra & Pat Lindsay pulled up, popped a scope and picked up the plovers ! Quick hellos and goodbyes were given, as they "hot-footed it" down to the beach !
