Beautiful spring weather has arrived in Connecticut! Piping Plovers continue to show up on our shoreline, too. This bird, probably a male, was photographed yesterday while having a long lunch in the marsh.
March is a good month to get a look at our shorebirds without disturbing them too much. We want to see activity like continued foraging when we are on the beach. It lets us know the birds are not bothered by our presence, and they feel comfortable with us at a safe distance. The more birds ignore you, the better job you are doing at protecting them.
