	1715 (1 photos) 2009-08-23 Presa La Colorada, El Llano, Aguascalientes (Agu), Mexico Young or winter plumage. Not a common species inland. Threatened by habitat loss. My first observation of the species in Ags, was probably the same bird some days earlier, August 14. Just one bird seen.
	1706 (1 photos) 2010-11-15 Bahía de San Quintín, Baja California (Bcn), Mexico Winter plumage. Difficult to say from this picture if it is a young or adult.
	1707 (1 photos) 2010-11-15 Bahía de San Quintín, Baja California (Bcn), Mexico Probably male in basic plumage due to the well-marked spots on the side of the breast.
	1708 (1 photos) 2010-11-15 Bahía de San Quintín, Baja California (Bcn), Mexico Basic plumage. Not sure about age or sex. Some males apparently are as unmarked as females in winter.
	1709 (1 photos) 2010-11-15 Bahía de San Quintín, Baja California (Bcn), Mexico Likely same as 1708. The rather worn wing coverts could indicate a young bird.
	1710 (1 photos) 2010-11-15 Bahía de San Quintín, Baja California (Bcn), Mexico Adult male to the right, still well-marked, and probably female to the left.
	1705 (1 photos) 2014-03-04 Salinas de Cuyutlán, Colima (Col), Mexico Adult type bird. Difficult to say if it's a 2cy bird or older.
	1711 (1 photos) 2014-03-04 Salinas de Cuyutlán, Colima (Col), Mexico Male in alternate plumage. The habitat with dry soil intermixed with salt provides the perfect camouflage for this species.
	1712 (1 photos) 2014-03-04 Salinas de Cuyutlán, Colima (Col), Mexico Male in breeding plumage.
	1713 (1 photos) 2014-03-04 Salinas de Cuyutlán, Colima (Col), Mexico Male in breeding plumage.
	1714 (1 photos) 2014-03-04 Salinas de Cuyutlán, Colima (Col), Mexico Probably female or young male.
	2195 (5 photos) 2015-10-11 Boca de Tomates, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico Basic plumage. Three birds present this day. Here with Sanderlings and Semipalmated Plover.
	2194 (1 photos) 2016-03-11 Laguna Atotonilco, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico Different plumages, but the species recognized well by the cream-colored plumage, compact profile, thin black bill and uncolored breast center.
	2193 (1 photos) 2016-03-11 Laguna Atotonilco, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico Looks like adult male in almost in alternate plumage, with the dark neck spots and frontal spot.
	2192 (5 photos) 2016-03-11 Laguna Atotonilco, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico Basic plumage. Stayed by itself. Difficult with only one leg, but it looked healthy, and foraged without too much effort. The bird could not be recognized at the US Bird Banding Laboratory. Probably a bird from a local project.
	2196 (2 photos) 2016-03-11 Laguna Atotonilco, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico I counted 62 birds, when they were together at midday at their, apparently, favorite roosting site. The birds here were flushed from there, I think, when 4 beeps! came down to play on the beach in their new automobile...
