Order Charadriif ormes 



All three species (mountain plover, long-billed curlew, upland sandpiper) 

 listed as being of "special interest or concern" for this order are known to 

 occur on the study area. The mountain plover was observed on one occasion in a 

 prairie dog town on 15 August 1979. Timing of this observation would suggest 

 that this was a migratory bird although the abundance and distribution of prairie 

 dog towns on the area have the potential of supporting breeding birds of this 

 species. Cameron (1907) states that this species was a "regular summer visitor.
