Caleb, why would you think this is a Wilson;s Plover?? Wilson's Plovers have very thick, black bills, a black collar on the breast, and a very prominent white eye stripe. This bird looks nothing like that. We have asked you countless times to only be making suggestions when you are 100% sure as you kept leading people to incorrect IDs, so I would like to remind you that you promised you wouldn't make suggestions unless you were positive you were correct. Please remove your suggestion or it will be removed for you. Thanks.
