Piping plover by Gus Romano
About this walk:
Sponsored by Harwich Conservation Trust, join shorebird biologist Shilo Felton for a short walk to learn about the natural history and conservation of piping plovers, a federally threatened species. We’ve been watching for a window in the weather to match with the timing of plover presence. Right now this rare shorebird is nesting on selected Cape Cod beaches. We will observe a plover family on a local Harwich beach so please bring binoculars. Learn how we can help protect these birds during both their breeding and migration stages. This walk is free, but space is limited.
Location:
Beach on Nantucket Sound in Harwich
