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.
Greenland Ringed Plovers are said to winter in W.Africa
and the Ringed Plovers seen in New-Foundland and NE USA
during migration probably belong to the Greenland subspecies.
