Hi Rick, Ohio-Birds folks:
This is a wonderful record! Was Pacific Golden Plover ruled out
in the field? The reason I ask is that this seems to
be an extreme late date; I do not have all records handy
but it is one of the latest records this far north
in the eBird database. Perhaps Bill Whan can look
and see what other late Ohio dates there are.
Fantastic find!
Best,
Tim Spahr
