Piping Plover of East Broadway, 4/21/12

The Piping Plover duo on East Broadway were today (21 April 12) at around 859-861 E B'Way, the male hunkering down high up on the beach in the highest wrack.  The female was foraging at the water's edge.  The photos show the difference between male and female clearly; also, notice how difficult it is to determine if the male is on nest or just sheltering.

The male: sheltering or nesting?


Long shot of male give sense of place on E B'Way beach.  Can you find him?
