Double-banded Plover at Bithry Inlet

[Leo Berzins]

Surprised to see a Double-banded Plover at Bithry Inlet today. It still had traces of breeding plumage.

 

This is the earliest I have ever seen one return.

 

(Apologies for the poor photo quality in harsh midday light).

 

Regards,
Leo.

Yes that is very early. I seem to remember mid-March for them.

Thanks Leo.

I usually start seeing them around mid-February.
