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 Yours Dave Schlosberg ----- Original Message -----=20 From: BSC NS Plovers=20 To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca=20 Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2011 7:34 AM Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Conrad's Beach, low tide today 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.
