Date: 9 July 2014 Time: 1030-1130 It took me a few days to chase down these birds, but I followed up on the Mountain Plover sightings from Mark Chavez (I believe on the 6th or 7th of July). In the same area, I found 3 Mountain Plovers, and I also found and photographed a McCown's Longspur just a little east of there and a Grasshopper Sparrow just a little west of there.
There was a truck parked along the road for pipeline construction. The entire time I was there, I only saw two other vehicles. The first scared one of the plovers just as he was getting really close to me. The other blew up my chance at getting a better picture of the sparrow. Timing. Oh, well. I remind myself that roads are for driving and it's me that's being the nuisance.
