[Birdtalk] Semipalmated Plover

[MUHLESTEINCLAN at aol.com]

Antelope Island @, or there abouts, mile marker 3, a Semipalmated Plover  was 
seen. My two sisters, LaNita and Amy were birding this area a few days ago,  
and spotted one on the South side. Watch the rocks carefully, they are quite  
small. 
I just got back from Alaska and spotted one there, however it was  accidental 
because we were watching a Long-Tailed Jaeger. When the Jaeger  disappeared, 
I just happened to spot the Semi...on the road behind our car. What  fun 
Alaska was. We saw much of the interior from Fairbanks all the way down to  
Anchorage. I picked up 11 new species, even in the slow month of July.  I'm eager to 
return next May when there is more happening. I did see 50 species  total, and 
many of those a lot of times! Many Goldeneyes & Red-necked  Grebes, etc., 
etc. 
Good luck with the Semipalmated Plover. If you see it please let us know on  
this birdline for others who may not have ever seen it.
