Folks, I and apparently several other birders looked for Kellner's Golden-Plover at Lower Latham, to no avail. I scoured the Latham / Beebe Draw area several times but found only Marbled Godwit, Lesser Yellowlegs, Willet(rare according to ebird), Semipalmated Plover, Western Sandpiper, Semipalmated Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper, Baird's Sandpiper, Long-billed Dowitcher, American Avocet and Black-necked Stilt as far as shorebirds go. I went up to the Pawnee Grasslands and dipped on Mountain Plovers (I haven't seen any ebird reports from Pawnee Grasslands) so I headed back to Kersey / Latham. On my return visit to Loloff, I found a Whimbrel and a Long-billed Curlew in the field to the east of the lake. I was able to photograph them together and in flight. Photos can be seen from the link below as well as last week's breeding plumage Red-throated Loon and yesterday's 3 Caspian Terns. The later were digi-scoped due to distance. If you are interested in mating Sandwich Terns, click on the NCBirds2013 link.
