Collared Plover (Charadrius collaris) ebird/Clements (2019)
	1834 (2 photos) Collared Plover (Charadrius collaris) monotypic Sydamerikansk Præstekrave - Chorlo de Collar Laguna Atotonilco, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2015-09-05 Study of habitat. A long-awaited species for me in the western Mexico. Had thought it would be easy and down by the coast, that I should find this species, so it was a complete surprise when this bird popped into the view of the telescope on this inland locality. We saw about ten birds, which could indicate that the open flat lakes with broad shores here in the southern Jalisco are attractive to the species. Should be looked for more systematically inland. Even at a distance you instantly get a feeling that this is the species you are watching. The long pink legs (not yellowish as the field guides use to describe them - a seasonal difference?) are very distinct. At suited localities I've often been wondering if I were overlooking the species, but now I'm sure it has not been the case; that the species probably is scarce and perhaps even in decline?
	1836 (1 photos) Collared Plover (Charadrius collaris) monotypic Sydamerikansk Præstekrave - Chorlo de Collar Laguna Atotonilco, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2015-09-05 Likely an adult. Rather bright-winged, which was also the perception of the bird in flight. The long pink legs are distinctive.
	1837 (1 photos) Collared Plover (Charadrius collaris) monotypic Sydamerikansk Præstekrave - Chorlo de Collar Laguna Atotonilco, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2015-09-05 A likely female with restricted chestnut on the crown. Seen from the side it can be difficult to appreciate that the breast band is complete, which could lead to conclusions that the bird much be a Snowy Plover. But the long thin and black bill plus the long pink legs are good indications against this.
	1838 (1 photos) Collared Plover (Charadrius collaris) monotypic Sydamerikansk Præstekrave - Chorlo de Collar Laguna Atotonilco, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2015-09-05 A likely young bird with limited black on the front and at the lores, plus very brownish side to the chest. The thin complete breast band is obvious, though.
