The photos I took on 30 July will likely be the last of the baby Piping Plovers…
; (
All 4 babies and their dad were still at the beach on 4 August, but my camera battery was dead…

That evening, while we watched, 3 of them took a very serious-looking flight straight out over the ocean. It was the first prolonged flight I’d witnessed and it looked to me like they meant to head straight for the Bahamas.
; )
They came back, but I’ve heard since that dad and two of the babies have left for points south. 2 chicks were still around as of yesterday… I hope to get back for a couple last shots, but…
Seven President’s Park is the only place in Monmouth County, besides Sandy Hook, that had Piping Plovers this season… and the season was a huge success for our pair!

Sweet photo of a peewee piper!Their are groups so protective of them in Connecticut that I haven’t tried to get close to them lately.

I have just finished reading Silent Spring for an assignment I am working on. Thank you Rachel Carson for giving us this chance!
