Union County: American Golden-Plovers

On September 23rd I observed 7 American Golden-Plovers (adults and juveniles) at a location where Steve Jones mentioned seeing a single Pluvialis plover the day before. This is presently a muddy field which is just north of Treaty Line Road directly across from the northern terminus of Hoover-Moffitt Road. Conditions were a little rainy and overcast, but I was able to take a few marginal quality pictures.
