I have been told that head pattern is insufficient for telling Pluvialis
plovers apart, so all the plovers at Emery Point yesterday were probably
Black-bellied because that is the common species. The light was bad, making
it difficult to judge the amount of "golden" on the plovers, and none of
them ever flew to show their distinctive wingpits.
