Semipalmated Plover and others at Opie Rd., Hillsborough, 5/12/2011

From Jeff Ellerbusch:

Opie Rd this afternoon, 5:30

– Semipalmated Plover- 2
– Killdeer- 2 adults and 2 chicks
– Lesser Yellowlegs- 1
– Solitary Sandpiper- 7
– Least Sandpiper- 50ish

The Killdeer were aggressive towards everything, though seemed particularly aggressive towards the Semi Plovers…interesting. At one point one of the Killdeer parents chased a Plover around the field for 15 or so seconds.
