Flight photos - plovers - Plum Creek Delta - Chatfield

[Gregg Goodrich]

I don’t see any eBird rare bird reports from yesterday on the Piping and Semipalmated Plovers at Plum Creek Delta. They may be gone. It looks like about 25 ebirders reported the birds. Pretty good for a difficult area to get to. I got these two flight shots of the pair. Pretty tight pair. I think most folks got to see them both in the same field of view.

So good the water level is down. Great spot for shore birds to take a break. Even with all the construction, people and boats, Chatfield can still get some good birds.

This association seems similar to the Piping Plover and Semipalmated Plover seen at Cherry Creek State Park earlier this year. At least when I saw them, they stuck fairly close together as well. I know it would be a bit of a stretch, but is it possible that these are the same individuals?
