Location Montrose Beach, Chicago, IL
Go on May 1st, they said. They might be there by then. There's a section of the beach fenced off just for them where they can nest. Try there.
Well, I showed up early in the morning on May 1 and after doing a little birding in the woods, headed to the beach. It took a moment, but there they were, a pair, running around on the sand like Killdeer. Single band and light color were diagnostic.
Sometimes it works out that well. Usually it doesn't.
