When identifying a Semipalmated Plover, the latter word can rhyme with lover or rover. Both are technically correct.

Continuing with Gulls FT last weekend: These 3 made about 5 passes in a very interesting display just for us!!!
Interesting melanistic White-winged Dove this afternoon in the yard. Article on Melanism
Migration is happening!! Tons of yellow warblers and gnatcatchers at Hornsby and a few others sprinkled in like Clay-colored Sparrow and a Flycatcher someone can ID. Also 14 species of shorebirds including Avocets and Semipalm Plovers.
15 species of shorebird yesterday at Hornsby. But this Chestnut-collared longspur was a treat. Seems to be a young male with a hint of black on belly and a hint of chestnut on collar. Good looks at Baird’s Sandpiper, American Golden Plover and both yellowlegs were also a pleasure!
Went to Corpus yesterday. Here’s some winter shorebirds.
