With the tears rolling down my face as a result of the cold winds, I spent the early part of the day in search of our first Piping Plovers. It paid off! Sixteen colorful Piping Plovers were seen feeding together on the Southern point.
Much to my surprise, a Glossy Ibis was also seen feeding with some Gulls. According to the Coastal Waterbird Progam, GLIB nest over on Monomoy in the rosa rugosa bushes as well as on Boston Harbor Islands. It is thought that maybe we have a Monomoy or a boston bird.
