[CT Birds] 4/5 Hammo Am. Golden-Plover, Shovelers, Bittern, Ibis

[Tim Antanaitis]

Hi Mardi,
I'm not really sure if it stuck around.  Sorry I didn't mention that in my post last night.  It was getting dark and it flew off but it looked like it landed a little closer to the nature center pool close to 7pm.  A little earlier in the evening there were 20+ people in the field with kites and frisbees and cars, so I don't think it was there at that time.  I looked through my old journals and found out this was the first one I've ever seen in the spring.  All of my other FOY's were between 9/6 and 9/25.

Hi Tim,

Nice find with the American Golden Plover. Did it hang around? 

Cheers,
Mardi
