Sharing Another Season with Piping Plovers

This spring, the endangered Piping Plover again chose the beaches of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park as their northern home! These tiny shorebirds who were absent from the Canadian Great Lakes habitat for over thirty years have appeared again to make their nests and raise their young. This season, seven adult birds were observed on the beach and two nests were laid; after six weeks of foraging and growing, all four eggs from the first nest successfully fledged!
The success of this program could not have been possible without the help of over 100 volunteers who offered over 1900 hours of their time and the entire Wasaga Beach Provincial Park team who were dedicated to protecting the plovers. Everyone's contribution was greatly appreciated!
We look forward to another great season next year and more accomplishments to pipe about!
