Piping Plover - Adult and Fledglings

I was asked by one of the local Piping Plover monitors to try to photograph the fledglings of this particular nesting pair. There was a concern that only one chick had survived in the week leading up to the time they would be fully fledged and ready to leave the area. I was happy to do so and also happy to report that all three young ones were still alive and well at the time. August 15, Louis Head Beach NS.





The flags on the legs help to identify the individual birds, the adult here is not flagged. While I was able to photograph all three fledglings only two are pictured in these photos.
