American Golden Plover!

Found an American Golden Plover today hiding behind a tuft of grass while birding the beach at East Fork State Park. This would be a life bird. I originally thought that it was black bellied, but I now see the pics and the back is more brown speckled. Such a cool looking bird!

Again, why do birds always stare me down!
