Far from home; I found this lonely Wilson's Plover on a windy morning on Wisconsin Point. Over 1000 miles from "home," this bird turned out to be a Wisconsin first state record! [May 9th, 2004; Wisconsin Point, Superior, Wisconsin]
The long heavy bill of the Wilson's Plover is different than that of other plovers. It almost seems as if they might tip forward at any moment [April; Bolivar Flats near Galveston, Texas]
