According to Ted Murin the latest (previous) seasonal record for  
Semipalmated Plover in Vermont is 11/5/92.  There is also a Nov. 3  
record and several in late October.  Arguably a plover here in  
mid-December is at least as likely to be Ringed (or something else) as  
it is to be Semipalmated.
