Update: The Piping Plover that was found this past weekend at Conneaut was
color banded. I was contacted by people that saw the posted photo along,
noted the band combination, and were able to get an idea where this bird was
banded. I sent them additional photos with better views of the bands and
they were able identify the him further. He was hatched in 2010 at Platte
Point in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park in Michigan.

If anyone has color-marked Piping Plover sightings, they can be sent to
[log in to unmask] Note band color and where the bands are on the legs. For
this bird I also noted a green blob on the lower color band. That was what
helped identify it to year. Thanks again to Mark and Bob for initially
finding the bird.
