Greater or Lesser SAND PLOVER (??? Charadrius leschenaultii)

 
Augusta County - September 7, 2009
Zoomed 300% - Feeding behavior was consistent, very similar to that of a Black-bellied Plover -- pull morsel, usuallly a worm, out of the mud, consume, then move forward quickly, usually short distance. It was not the quit sewing motion like that of the Least Sandpipers.
