Resighting News

From Long Point Bird Observatory:

We have some very exciting resighting information from the Piping Plovers observed at the Tip this spring thanks to @ontarioplovers and @birds.canada

1. Male seen on April 20th hatched in 2021 at Sleeping Bear Dunes, Michigan and has bred at Wilderness State Park, Michigan every year since.

2. Female seen on May 2nd hatched in 2024 at Pointe Aux Chenes, Mohican and nesting at Presqu’isle Provincial Park, Ontario this year.

3. Female seen on May 25th hatched in captivity when the egg was saved from sleeping Bear Dunes, Michigan following a nest wash out! Released at Point Aux Chenes, Michigan. No known nest this year.

How exciting is that! If you spot a Piping Plover with colour bands please report to @ontarioplovers help us learn more about them and protect them.
