Piping Plovers 15 July 10 Milford Pt



Today at Milford Point most of the Piping Plover chicks are getting difficult to distinguish from fledglings. Here are two photos of PP in a family of 4 young birds and 2 adults--the first photo shows an adult and a fledgling; the second two of the other fledges. All of the birds would repeatedly hunker down in scrapes in the sand. The last few days have featured strong thunderstorms and torrential rains, but these PPs seem just fine.
