Piping Plovers growing up

Steve Spector sent us the following photo one of the three Piping Plover chicks from East Broadway in Milford. It is around two weeks old and serves as a preview of what some of the other hatchlings and current eggs will look like.

It is a little more than just a ball of fluff now, growing longer and taller, gaining that Piping Plover shape. They grow up so fast...

Our thanks to Steve for his constant monitoring and the shot.
