NYC Plover Project

First tweet! More news to come about our effort to bring folks, organizations and agencies together that are fighting to protect the Piping Plovers that nest on NYC beaches! So keep your ear to the ground! 😀

The Fort Tilden brood of 3 is growing up fast! Both parents are still diligently protecting them, but of course, Piping Plover chicks feed themselves from birth. So much hope for this New Yorker family. ❤️❤️❤️ 📷: @forbesfeather
