INFORMATION ON PIPING PLOVERS, DARLINGTON PROVINCIAL PARK, BOWMANVILLE,ONTARIO, 6/25/2021

    The area where the Piping Plovers are was roped off.  Unfortunately we could not find them.  As we were looking for them a Park Ranger came along with a scope.  She also could not find them.  She did tell us that a female gave birth to four chicks and they relocated to a more distant sand bar.  A second female is presently incubating eggs.  The same male copulated both females.  When this occurs the male Piping Plover stays with only one of the females; in this case it stayed with the female that had already given birth.  The male and the female take turns incubating the eggs and obtaining food.  The other tamale does both.
