I'm assuming Midway Beach (which is not in the DeLorme) is
at or near the breeding plover site at Leadbetter Pt.

Hello folks,

I am not on Tweeters up there in Washington, but I was hoping maybe
somebody could forward this message to those folks. I was talking to a
WA Dept of Fish and Wildlife employee on Thurs morning 18 Jan. She had
conducted a Snowy Plover survey at Midway Beach on 11 Jan (Pacific
Cty). She told me she had 25 plovers and mixed in with them was a
MONGOLIAN PLOVER. I questioned her a little, and suggested maybe
MOUNTIAN PLOVER (especially since I know there has been one around Ft
Canby area), however she insisted it was a MONGOLIAN. Regardless, I
thought some WA birders might like to go take a look at these plovers
and confirm/refute the report. Thanks, I'd be interested hearing any
results from the WA folks.

Dave
