Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Conrad's Beach, low tide today
Hi David,
One of our volunteers has been checking Conrads Beach for Piping =
Plovers regularly, but none yet. In fact, plovers have not been seen on =
any Halifax-Dartmouth area beach, including Martinique. We've set up a =
few signs at Martinique in hope of reducing trampling through nesting =
habitat in case plovers show up.
It's been a slow spring for plovers across Atlantic Canada, so perhaps =
we'll have some late breeders show up.
Thanks,
Sue Abbott
