I thought that this was a good and convincing description of a Snowy Plover, a species that's likely a rare but annual visitor to southern Idaho. One minor criticism is that I would've liked to see Lesser Sandplover (formerly Mongolian Plover) competed here, since that species looks superficially similar to Snowy Plover and has been recorded in a neighboring state.

The report is well-written and describes the bird's plumage, behavior, and voice accurately.
