The Nearctic equivalent of our Ringed Plover, although not uncommon it is an extremely
rare vagrant to Europe, the right-hand shot being of the second British record. It may
be overlooked, although it has a somewhat different jizz to Ringed Plover, particularly
when seen together. The two overlap on Baffin Island but do not hybridise, and this
species migrates to coasts from southern USA to Patagonia, whereas Ringed Plover winters
more inland.
