Endangered Piping Plover Nest At Darlington Beach (Original)

in #photography8 years ago (edited)

FUN FACT:

  • Over the past 50 years, Piping Plovers disappeared from most known nest sites around the Great Lakes, reducing their population size to just a couple pairs. 
  • Strict management and protection is succeeding and the initial pairs from are now helping to repopulate former breeding sites along Ontario’s Great Lakes shorelines.

These photos were taken at Darlington Beach in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.

Always nice to hear of species making a comeback. Nice photos, too!
