Rocky Mountain Plover

Rocky Mountain Plover [now Mountain Plover]
Charadrius montanus
Octavo edition, plate 318
“The skin from which I made my drawing was that of a female; and it is my opinion, that the male, when found, will have as distinct markings as those exhibited by Charadrius melodus or Charadrius semipalmatus.”
John James Audubon, Birds of America (New York: J.J. Audubon; Philadelphia: J. B. Chevalier, 1840-1844), vol. 5, p. 213.
