Saw young snow geese in park.  Much like Canadas but duskier & with much shorted & stubbier bills.  Saw a [[underline]] creamy white meadowlark [[\underline]] as we went out, and did see two [[underline]] mountain plover [[\underline]]..  One flew into a small depression & picked some sort of scarabaids from grass for several minutes.  Acted somewhat like a killdeer and also something like a barlianncin[[?]] sandpiper.
