WeI saw three American Golden-Plovers this morning at the wet and muddy field on the west side Highway 56 just south of Stanton (Hwy 19), along with several dozen assorted Greater Yellowlegs, Semi-palmated Plovers, Semi-palmated Sandpipers, Least Sandpipers, Pectoral Sandpipers and Stilt Sandpipers (there may have been some Lesser Yellowlegs as well). The numbers are down from a couple of days ago, but it was still good birding. The Golden-Plovers flew in after we arrived and disappeared again after 20 minutes or so.
