Thank you so much! Adrian, it's in the same family as the Sandpiper-from what I can tell, the only difference is the ring around his neck.

lol, Hi Adrian, this has been driving me nuts. I've looked in my bird book and on-line too, and I definately screwed up. Semipalmated Plovers don't appear to be this far south unless of course they are migrating but considering when I took this pic it seems unlikely. Same story with the Little Ringed Plover and I can't find a Ring Necked Sandpiper either but i think you made that up. So I'm stumped.......

Thank you so much Fire Blade, I'm guessing this was a juvenile and it was about 6 inches tall. As you can see, I'm kind of in the dark as to what this bird Really is. So if anyone there Does know, Please ID it for us.... :)

Yes it does... :) Thank you John, I learned something else too. The proper way to interpret the bird book. I had their breeding range, etc... all backwards.:pinch:

You're welcome. I left my bird book's "up north" and had to rely on the net. Had a decent idea of what I was looking for, though.
