--000e0cd2e458387c85046d8304cb Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 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!
