Most people would not think that a little brown bird (LBB) on a Florida beach would cause people to come from as far as California and line up just for a peek.The Orlando Sentinal reports:
"Rarely has a single beach bird caused such a stir. But bird-lovers are flocking to Jacksonville for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see this one.A Greater Sandplover, a bird that normally inhabits the sandy steppes of Asia, has been sighted at a Jacksonville park, making what birders say is only its second confirmed appearance in the Western Hemisphere. Bird-watchers from throughout Florida and the country have rushed to Huguenot Memorial Park, hoping to get a rare glimpse of a bird that apparently flew across an ocean and a continent."
