Subject: Pacific Golden Plover, Johnson Sod Farm
NJBIRDS,
I just spoke with Shawneen Finnegan. She just talked with Richard Crossley who was at Johnson Sod Farm with Michael O'Brien and Evan Obercian, and they report an adult Pacific Golden Plover there at about 2:30 this afternoon, 9/4/01. The bird is with a group of eleven American Golden Plovers. The birds are on the turf 1/3 to 1/2 mile east of NJ Route 77 on Olivet Rd. (north side).
To reach Johnson Sod Farm from Rt. 55 take US 40 west to the circle at Rt. 77 (Pole Tavern). Take Rt. 77 south perhaps six miles to Johnson Sod Farm (just north of the town of Deerfield). I _think_ Olivet Rd. is just south of the Sod Farm headquarters but I may be wrong. Turn left (east) and look for the sod on the north (left) side of the road.
I'll post any further updates as I have them.
