Piping Plover (9)Charadrius melodus (Near-threatened) IvanM Canada (Ontario) 📍 Map Date taken: Jun 22 2014 Details: female Some beaches on the Lake Huron host this very rare plover. When they choose a spot to lay their eggs, the site gets fenced in and their eggs are protected with a cage, so that they can carry on their breeding business without being disturbed too much. In fact, they share beaches with humans in summer with apparently no concern! Here a female, notice the narrow blackish (not completely balck) band on the forehead.
