Early Plovers

Writer's picture: Barbara SeithBarbara Seith

I tend not to go out birding in the afternoon. I've had limited success, but today when a friend texted me that there were 9 Piping Plovers at Quonnie - I had to go.


Last year the max number (after chicks were running around) was 7. I got there and counted 10 -- that is 3 more mating pairs than last year. So exciting! The photos aren't great because of the time of day (and I ran out with my slippers on, so I didn't want to walk on the beach). But there is one photo with all 10 in it! Since none of them were banded and at least three of last year's adults were banded I think these are new birds to Quonnie -- I hope they aren't just passing through.
