people followed up the Saturday field trip to Buttercup with a
drive up the road to Strever Farm Road, where they found a non-breeding
plumaged American Golden-Plover.

Barbara
Butler, Carol Fredericks, Tully McElrath, and Chet Vincent studied
the bird, along with about 15 beautifully plumaged Green-winged
Teal, and agreed on the ID. Several other people, including
Art Jones, Carena Pooth, and Herb Thompson, went up soon afterward
and also got a good look at the bird. Many
thanks to Steve Golladay for the above photos, which he took on
Monday 4/10.
Directions:
Take
Rte. 82 north past Buttercup and look for Strever Farm Rd. on
the right. This road makes a U-shaped loop that rejoins
82 just a bit farther north. If you take the southern turnoff,
the pond will be on your left, lower than the road. Take
a spotting scope if you have one.
