This is a beach that requires boat access, so it's helpful to get sightings from folks. Piping Plovers have nested there with mixed success over the years, but last year the pair produced one fledgling. The female last year was banded on her upper left leg with a grey flag coded "JE". She was banded by Environment Canada as a chick on a small beach in Port Joli bay in Queens Co. in 2014. I wouldn't be surprised if JE is nesting on this beach again this year. If your brothers took any photos, I'd be very interested in looking at them to see whether any of the plovers is banded. Our email is: nsplovers@gmail.com. Piping Plovers are starting to lay and incubate eggs on the open dry sand across NS, so always best practice to remain on the wet sand wherever you see plover nesting area signs or if you see plovers in the area. We welcome sightings and if you're interested in more info about a pair, please get in touch anytime. We're hoping for a successful nesting season in Nova Scotia!
