385:992013-05-27Park Point, DuluthSt. Louis(record #2013-025, vote 7–0). Third state record. There were various quality photographs and written descriptions from several experienced observers. Age and sex uncertain, but the bird is in all probability a firstspring male. The bird was viewed by more than 20 observers. Coincidentally, a Wilson's Plover was seen the previous day at Peninsula Point in Michigan's Upper Peninsula where it is also considered Accidental. A comparison of the photographs indicates that these birds were not the same individuals (Karl Bardon, pers. comm.). Accepted
