Ahh this is so cool!! One of the plovers Ryan found was born at Leelanau State Park where I have been seeing these special birds since I was a little kid—they were gone for many years of high water but now they are back again and nesting successfully
Jer ThorpThis is such a cool story from @ryanfm.bsky.social about stumbling upon (paddling upon?) one of North America's rarest birds. It's a good reminder that there's more to birding than just going to the hotspots. ryanmandelbirder.substack.com/p/these-plov...
