Subject: [NatureNS] Martinique Beach's Piping Plovers(13)


>I took a stroll yesterday at Martinique Beach, Martinique Beach Provincial 
>Park, taking advantage of a gorgeous spring morning.  I took a lot of 
>photos so in today's gallery I've interspersed beach shots for the benefit 
>of the folks that have never visited this place before to see the 
>endangered Piping Plover in one of their premier nesting areas.
>
> I counted nine Piping Plovers going down the beach toward the morning sun 
> and thirteen Piping Plovers coming back.  The plovers were in three 
> distinct groups, a small group of three before the first headland, that's 
> where the rocky outcrop stands offshore, a group of six at the primary 
> nesting area just past the first headland and another group of four about 
> 500 metres before the beach ends.
>
> There was a lot of displaying going on which was amusing to watch.
