Piping Plover Chick Feeling New Flight Feathers JMC_7314DYR

Add to Lightbox

A Piping Plover Chick I have watched over the weeks, flexes unproven flight feathers. Still flightless, this early one likely made it out before a devastating storm wiped most of the later nests off the beach. A Plover chick can fly in 3 to 4 weeks after hatching. Climate change is making these spring storms more powerful and devastating. These already endangered waterbirds are facing greater challenges ahead.
