--089e010d89f21609360512bfa575 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi all, With Killdeer arriving, it's just a matter of time before Piping Plover show up. We are always very interested in spring observations, so please share sightings. Also, please check plover legs for bands. Environment Canada is leading an important research study to identify wintering areas and understand survival of adults and juveniles. Plovers may be wearing a flag on their upper leg that is grey or black (or white, though limited number were used in 2013). Each flag has a unique code of two letters and/ or numbers. Codes can be challenging to read with binoculars, but a zoom camera or scope works well. A silver band may also be visible on the other leg (upper part). Reporting bands: - Flag colour, two letter and/ or number code, and leg location - Location, date, time of sighting - Any notes on behaviour - Photos of the banded bird are greatly appreciated - Band reports can be sent to cheri.gratto-trevor@ec.gc.ca or to nsplovers@gmail.com and we'll forward it on. Here's hoping we have a successful plover breeding season in NS and beyond. Appreciate your attention and interest. Feel free to get in touch with any questions.
