Piping plover perspective

Uploaded by Kathryn Peiman on 26 Jul 2024 in Peterborough

Piping plovers need undisturbed beach access to raise their chicks. This adult, with chicks higher up the beach, was foraging near the water. I laid in the sand, quietly watching the family as they moved up and down the beach. I liked the contrast of this shot - though it looks lonely for the bird, the lack of people, dogs, and vehicles is necessary for them to raise their family.
