Late Appearance of a Golden Plover 
on Cape Cod. 
r shot a Golden Plover November 19th in an 
old field near Provincetown, Mass. The bird 
was in young plumage and very poor but was 
not crippled as it required a heavy charge with 
I<fo. eight shot to drop him. I have never heard 
of a Golden Plover being taken as late as this 
in Massachusetts. They are seldom seen along 
Cape Cod after the 15th of October.
