In addition to the wildlife misrepresentation above, the snowy "plover" is not pronounced with a long "O" but rather with a short one, as in "uh." "Pluh-ver." We have them on the shore of the CA Central Coast. Additionally, it is common to the southern and western U. S., but not to the Washington D. C. area. As for the episode, I wish every show (or nearly every one) would begin with something other than the routine of: Happy scene (campfire), find a body, opening theme music, and reopen in the NCIS office with the agents discussing some recent event, personal issue, etc. This has become so routine you'd think the writers could vary it from time to time. That said, I still enjoy the show. I miss Gibbs but still enjoy it.
