Upland Sandpiper, Henslow's Sparrow, 104 AW Pelicans, two Trumpeter Swans, few returning Least Sandpipers on the Auto Tour this morning.
Question: had a unique Killdeer this morning. The upper band was 2.5-3X wider than the rest of its bands (unlike the other dozen or so Killdeer in the area) and it was tipping continually like a Spotted. Has anyone else noted such plumage or behavior (must admit I haven't studied Killdeer in depth)? Good birding to all! Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
