What's the "Birding Florida fb page?"
It's a webpage created on Facebook. It's at https://www.facebook.com/groups/birdingflorida/, but it may not be viewable to the general public.
Sorry for the lack of reports here. Here is a checklist which is publicly accessible. It includes photos and details.

We saw the plover at about 6:30 this afternoon along with wonderful friends Reinhard and Jutta Geisler. We parked next to the Six Mile Bend sod farm sign and found it foraging with Black-bellied Plovers in the sod field. This sign is just east of the Browns Farm Road turnoff on CR880.
Coordinates to the spot are a follows:
26° 38' 52" N 80° 34' 32" W
Good luck to all that chase the bird.

The plover continues as of this morning!!
Bird was still present yesterday (April 11) between 530pm and 630pm in the same area. Was sitting on a berm in the sod field and then came down to sod to feed. Very active while on the sod.
The bird has been seen as of 7:30 this morning with black bellied plovers in the sod field
