[mou] Sherburne NWR Auto Tour (report & question)

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

Upland Sandpiper, Henslow's Sparrow, 104 AW Pelicans, two Trumpeter Swans,
few returning Least Sandpipers on the Auto Tour this morning.

Question:  had a unique Killdeer this morning.  The upper band was 2.5-3X
wider than the rest of its bands (unlike the other dozen or so Killdeer in
the area) and it was tipping continually like a Spotted.  Has anyone else
noted such plumage or behavior (must admit I haven't studied Killdeer in
depth)?

Good birding to all!
