Community Bird
Help me identify this bird?
I have never seen one like this before. It looks like it could be a shore bird, although I see it at our community 3-hole golf course greens, about 3 miles from the Pacific in central California It is slim, has long legs like a shore bird, looks a lot like and is the size of a plover. Except it has a long white neck with a narrow black ring in the middle. And has a yellow beak. The back, wings and head are grey, the underside is off-white. It seems used to people and walks slowly along the short grass seeking grubs. I have only seen it for a week and have not seen it in flight.
I have searched my bird books and googled but see nothing just like
It may be a semipalmated plover. They migrate along the coast of Ca. during the winter time. They are very tame when it comes to getting near humans, and many times ignore their presence. This link has some info and pics of this species.
