Details
Two were banded/flagged. 1) black flag with white lettering "KK" and 2) Orange flag (couldn't read any code); Yellow over light blue: metal; Green. (O,Yb:X,G). We saw KK on Bulls at least 4 times last winter (2015-2016) and now again this winter. The bander, Cheri Gratto-Trevor, wrote to me on 12 Jan 2016 that KK "…is one of our eastern Canada birds--band93917, banded as an adult female on 10 June 2014, at Fatima Beach, Magdalen islands, Quebec." The other banded PIPL was "O,Yb:X,G." We first saw this PIPL on Bulls on 3 Dec 2016. From the bander, Alice Van Zoeren (also the bander of Old Man Plover): "The other plover [O,Yb:X,G] you saw is also from the Great Lakes. This one hatched in 2015 at Muskegon, MI. He returned to breed in 2016 in Illinois near the Wisconsin border at Illinois Beach State Park. It was an exciting expansion of nesting plovers back into historic nesting territory."
