September 9th, 2005. San Louis Obispo County, CA.
Pacific Golden Plover Pluvailis fulva ABA Code (2).
We were very fortunate to find this beautiful plover on a random stop overlooking a beach just off coastal Route 1. We carefully went through the features to rule out possible confusion with American Golden Plover. It was feeding alongside Willet, Black Turnstone and Wandering Tattler!
