That is some incredible camouflage! If I did not crop the photo and had zoomed out, it could have been a difficult game of finding the hidden little one. While we know our Piping Plovers feed in the wrack, it also helps them blend into their beach along with the sand. When it comes to aging our birds CT DEEP has this very helpful guide to be used in reporting. This young chick matches the description and example photo very well. Please keep the guide in mind when it comes to finding the new families later this spring and summer.
