I got these photographs at Point Reyes Natl Seashore in October 2017. Sorry for the photo quality...he was pretty active!

I photographed this hawk at Brushy Peak Regional Preserve in LIvermore, CA in MAR 2017. The yellow color shows up in other photos in this series.

I apologize for the poor photograph. This guy was moving around a lot in the treetops, and I got about a split second to get this shot.

I found this one at Cabo Rojo in October 2015. I got lucky and got multiple exposures. This guy really cooperated and kept moving into better light and striking better poses.

Thanks for your help. I have seen a black-bellied plover male in breeding plumage several years ago. What had me wondering about the ID on this was the amount of streaking on the chest. The reference I had looked at indicated that the black-bellied plover should have a plain white chest/belly compared to a couple other spp. Now that the beak characteristic has been pointed out, I am OK with black bellied plover. Thanks again!
