Earlier this afternoon I was hauling some corn between the field house and Gutterman Greenhouse on the east end of campus. While walking back and forth I gazed over at the tractor sweeping the field when a decent sized plover was spooked up. When it didn't show black arm pits I knew Black-bellied Plover was out, and when it didn't sound like a Killdeer I was left with an AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVER. The bird did not seem to return to the field, and I last saw it headed in the general direction of the compost piles.
