Thanks for sharing this video Bob!. I can never get enough of our beloved Chicago piping plovers. Especially for those of us who can't get to Montrose in person, seeing the video (and hearing that wind lol) was a lovely bit of armchair birding!
Thank you! It just occurred to me over the weekend that I was watching the nest as Imani hatched on July 7, 2021. So it is good to still be following his story.
Thanks for this windy real life video. If I still lived in Lake County, I’d be on the beaches helping in some way. As it is we can only enjoy and worry about our farm’s killdeer babies, knowing there’s no real way to protect them from their natural predators.
Hmm no report of wild indigo since…
Good point! Let’s hope Indigo is still with us.

I love this family saga and the way you tell their story. I’m hoping many more plovers arrive!

Thank you for sharing! There are species to protect everywhere.
