Common Ringed Plover - Charadrius hiaticula

Song: Voice is key distinguishing feature from very similar looking Semipalmated Plover. Contact call is a soft mellow whistle "TOO-lip" or "TOOee" rising in pitch; display songs are similar but with longer notes "TOO-widee TOO-widee...". Calls and songs are hollower than Semipalmated Plover's. Alarm calls are similar to Lesser Yellowlegs alarm calls.
