Charadrius hiaticula psammodroma
This subspecies of the Ringed Plover breeds on Greenland
and the NE Canadian islands. On Baffin Island it's range
touches the range of Semi-palmated Plover Charadrius
palmatus and here hybridisation has been found between
these two species by  Niall Smith (N.G.Smith. 1969.
Polymorphism in Ringed Plovers. Ibis 111: 177-188.
