When I first spot them on the beach, it means spring is right around the corner!
Even if I don’t see them, I know they’re there! With well-camouflaged feathers, nests, and eggs, plovers become almost invisible in the sand.
When I catch them eating noodles of the sea.
When I found out they don’t have a hind toe.
When I remember that a chick weighs less than a single scoop of ice cream.
I know they’re resting right on the sand, even if I can’t spot them. So I keep away from fenced areas and keep my pup away from beaches with nesting birds, to prevent any accidents from happening.
When I see a father taking over chick care so that mom can focus on rebuilding strength for their long migration south.
Every time I think about how much they love their family.
If predators or high tides destroy their nests, plovers are likely to try again. In fact, one plover in Massachusetts tried to nest five times laying a total of 19 eggs over the course of one summer!
When I think about all they’ve been through, and how much they’ve overcome. After years of increased protection and habitat restoration, Piping Plovers are finally recovering from near-extinction throughout North America, but they still need our help. It’s up to us to #ShareTheShore!
