Piping Plover |
Yesterday I headed out to Bunche Beach on a low tide to look for Piping Plovers. They should be returning here from there breeding grounds in the Mid-West. The plovers who winter in our area have been tracked from nesting areas around Lake Michigan and from along the Missouri River, leaving here in May and returning in early August.
Not a great many shore birds were present on the mud flats, but a nice variety. Did find my FOS
Piping Plovers.
