Meet Our Shorebird Collection: Piping Plover




 There are two piping plovers in our exhibit, both are males.

Piping plovers are a threatened species in Massachusetts, yet our state supports 15 percent of the world's population with approximately 550 of the Atlantic coast's 1,800 nests. Both our birds were injured in the wild and cannot fly.
