Hi all,

Canada Day at the beach is a blast for us humans, but can be tough for
nesting wildlife.

At this moment, endangered Piping Plovers are tending eggs or young
on almost two dozen sandy beaches around Nova Scotia.  Disturbances from
people and roaming pets can have disastrous consequences on nesting plovers
and other beach and dune wildlife, such as Willets, terns, Bank Swallows and
Savannah Sparrows.

Bird Studies Canada is coordinating volunteers on Canada Day to spend a few
hours on heavy recreation beaches to help protect sensitive plover nesting
areas and share info with beach goers.  Even a few hours at the beach on
Canada Day would greatly assist us.

Volunteers are needed on these busy beaches, but please feel free to contact
us if you're keen on getting involved at another beach in NS:

Pomquet Beach, Pomquet, Antigonish Co.
- Contact Travis White (twhite@animail.com)

Conrads Beach, W. Lawrencetown, Halifax Co.
- Contact Sue Abbott (nsplovers@gmail .com)

Lockeport Beach, Lockeport, Shelburne Co.
- Contact Chris Curry (c.curry11@ns.sympatico.ca)

Have a fantastic Canada Day!

Thanks,

Sue Abbott
