The first recorded Common Ringed Plover in California is being seen by so many birders that it has broken into the mainstream media. The article says that this sighting, in Davis, California, is only the fourth record in the lower 48 states, which seems low to me. There is more about the bird on PEEPS.
Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy and Desmond Shearwater. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.
