Yet Another - COMMON RINGED PLOVER - # 3

I arrived at Portugal Cove South on the southern Avalon Peninsula just as Alison Mews and Alvan Buckley were getting out of the car on 19 Aug 2017.  Alvan quickly spotted a suspicious plover that we were kind of looking for after he had a brief look at a highly likely Common Ringed Plover the weekend before in the fog.  Yup - it was a COMMON RINGED PLOVER alright. The big black ring around the neck, strong distinct white supercilium and distinct black markings on the head made it stick out.  But was it the same bird the had been at Biscay Bay 29 July to 3 Aug and then again at nearby Trepassey 5-7 August?  

Photography was very difficult with the heat shimmer rising off the dark coarse sand of Portugal Cove South beach (PCS). But the photos were enough to show that the PCS bird was different than the Biscay Bay bird.  The plovers can greatly changed how the width of their breast band and facial markings look depending on the mood of the bird = relaxed vs hyper active.  Taking this into account the PCS still had a wider black bar and narrower white space on forecrown.  The black tip on the bill covers about 50% of the bill tip on the PCS bird but only 33% on the Biscay Bay bird. Besides that the bird seemed to have a larger or more contrasting white supercilium, possibly slightly darker upper parts and different tone of orange legs and bill base. Bottom line is that the PCS bird is going down as a new bird and 3rd of the summer of 2017 in Newfoundland.

On a different note, an arguably rarer shorebird in Newfoundland is the Stilt Sandpiper. An unexpected three individuals, each an immaculate juvenile, showed up this weekend on the Avalon Peninsula.

    1. NOW LIFE IS WORTH LIVING WITH THE HELP OF EDWARD JONES FINANCE

      Hello Every One, My Name is Trevor Cohen live in Texas and life is worth living comfortably for me and my family now. I really have never seen goodness shown to me this much in my life as i am a struggling Dad with three kids and i have been going through a serious problem as my son encountered a terrible accident last week, and the doctors states that he needs to undergo a delicate surgery for him to be able to walk again, and i could not afford the bill for his surgery then i went to the bank for a loan and they turn me down stating that credit score was bad, from there i run to my father and some of my friends but they could not help, then when i was surfing through the net i came across a loan lender EDWARD JONES who provides loans at an affordable interest rate of 2% and i have been hearing about so many scams on the internet but at this time, in my desperate situation i had no choice than to give it a try and surprisingly it was all like a dream, i received a loan of $85,000.00 and i payed for my son surgery and thank GOD today he is okay and can walk. I could in turn start something profitable with the remaining amount and i said to my self that i will shout loud to the world of the wonders of GOD to me through this GOD fearing lender EDWARD JONES and i will advise anyone in genuine and serious need of loan to contact this GOD fearing Company via: Jonesloanfinance@yahoo.com

  3. HOW I BECAME A VICTOR AFTER SO MANY FAILED ATTEMPT OF GETTING A LOAN.

    I feel so blessed and fulfilled. I've been reluctant in applying for a loan i heard about online because everything seems too good to be true, but i was convinced & shocked when my friend at my place of work got a loan from Progresive Loan INC. & we both confirmed it and i also went ahead to apply, today am a proud owner of my company and making money for my family and a happy mom. Well i'm Annie Joe by name from Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. As a single mom with three kids it was hard to get a job that could take care of me and my kids and I had so much bills to pay and to make it worst I had bad credit so i couldn't obtain a loan from any bank. I had an ideal to start a business as an hair stylist but had no capital to start, Tried all type of banks but didn't work out until I was referred by my co-worker to a godsent lender advertising to give a loan at 2% interest rate. I sent them a mail using their official email address (progresiveloan@yahoo.com) and I got a reply immediately and my loan was approved, and I was directed to the Bank site where I withdrawed my loan directly to my account. To cut the story short am proud of my hair stylist company and promise to testify to the world how my life was transformed.. If you are in need of any kind of loan, i advise you contact Progresive Loan INC and be financially lifted Email: progresiveloan@yahoo.com OR Call/Text +1(603) 786-7565
