I just spotted one of these fellows this morning in Strybing Arboretum. Nice to get confirmation they hang out there.
Oh and thank you Alice
They breed here in the summer. It may have never left or flight feathers not developed. I recently posted a Black-bellied Plover still in its summer plumage while the rest I've seen have change.
Very Nice! It may have not have gone far enough South with all the wild winter weather around!
Thank you Nayeli.
Nice bird!!
