Thanks Jeremy!To follow up on my previous post, I asked a few of the top bird IDers in Wisconsin and they say American Golden Plover. Here is the exact quote from one. "It looks American. Good shot of the tail and the long primary projections. At least 4 primary tips visible which makes it American." Congrats on a great find for you, and getting great photos!

I didn't try to get "good photos", I tried to take photos good for ID. I know the differences between the golden plovers. I have never seen only the American (I have seen the Eurasian back in Europe, the Black-belied and the Pacific - here).
The location is Hawaii, Oahu. We have countless Pacific Golden Plovers and few Black-belied but the American and the Eurasian are still not reported for Hawaii. I sent the pics to one of the best birders here and he on his side send it to Peter Pyle. Now we are anxious waiting for the answer. So far all seems to agree for AGP!
Thanks again!
