Hi Sue
Glad to hear you are still active.
My health has improved to the point where I can possibly be of some help =
in the outdoor support as long as its not too cold and windy.=20

  Hi David,

  One of our volunteers has been checking Conrads Beach for Piping =
Plovers regularly, but none yet.  In fact, plovers have not been seen on =
any Halifax-Dartmouth area beach, including Martinique.  We've set up a =
few signs at Martinique in hope of reducing trampling through nesting =
habitat in case plovers show up.

  It's been a slow spring for plovers across Atlantic Canada, so perhaps =
we'll have some late breeders show up.

  Thanks,
  Sue Abbott
