On August 30, 2019 several Golden Plovers where sighted in a small flooded field in South Lebanon township, Lebanon County Pa.
Golden Plovers are a very rare sighting in this part of the county and I was excited to get a chance to view them.
As the sighting location was only 6 miles from my home, I packed my gear and headed there soon after the reporting. I arrived to find many other birders at the area. This was a good sign. As I parked and walked toward the area were everyone was looking, I didn't even need my bins to spot the plovers.
I set up my scope and took a few photo's with my iPhone for my records. I lingered watching the Golden plovers for quite a while talking to many birders as they came and went.
It's nice to see these rare species, but it has me wondering why there are so many showing up in the last few months...could it be global warming and changing migration patterns....only time will tell.
