Mixed shorebird flock in Biddeford, ME. The only positive to the slew of beach goers constantly flushing the birds today was phone video ops.

A reminder that Piping Plovers are adorable birds. They've returned to their breeding grounds at ocean and lakeside beaches. #ShareTheShore #WhichMeansLeashYourDogsPlease #AndFollowAllTheSignsAboutPetsOnTheShore

That dad bod is a super adaptation to provide your chicks with refuge from the blasting heat. Even when your chicks are reaching that fledge age, nothing like a good sun shield from dad.

~Half of all WA FATE colonies (n=77) failed between 2017/18 - 2021/22. Predation (32%) and inundation (27%) were the leading causes. Disturbance was a recurring threat, impacting ≥30% of colonies. Thanks to all those who contributed. See link👇 #sharetheshore #terns cience #terns

American oystercatcher looking gleeful to me as she prances away from the incoming tide with a tasty sand flea in her beak. American oystercatchers with an eye fleck are usually female! (Queens, New York)

We are so pleased to share that fencing and signage has been added to the pier by the protected beach to alert the less plover-savvy that this portion of Montrose is indeed restricted and literally for the birds. 😊 #piperwatchchi2023 #pipingplover #chicago #bird #sharetheshore
It’s shorebird baby time! American Oystercatcher keeps a close eye on her chick as it forages for dinner on a NYC beach. If you see these birds, please give them space.💕
