Piping plovers are a federally endangered species because they live and nest on beaches. They're vulnerable to habitat loss and human impacts, but they're also used to seeing people on beaches. They can be tame and really cute. Birding is easy if you know where to look.

Thanks for looking out for the plovers, Bob!

@Bob_Duchesne 3 месяца назад

Respect! It's their beach. I just borrow it occasionally.

One of my favorite birds I saw last year when I went to Maine. Hope to see more in June when I go back!

@susanmatako8469 3 месяца назад

My goal this year is to see them on the sand dunes of West Michigan. They're adorable!

I agree PPs are the very definition of cuteness. If more people knew how cute they were, more people would want to help conserve them, but then more people would also want to go to the beach to see them, and the added traffic could be a hinderence. Great video

As someone working as a PiPl monitor at a beach, people know very well how cute they are, and some of them still throw hissyfits about how we’re “trying to take the beach away from them”. Way too many people have Plover Derangement Syndrome.

PP have been my favorite bird as of late. Thank you, Bob! I always enjoy your videos!

Seeing that one Piping plover looking out toward the ocean reminded me of Bobby Darin's love song, Beyond the Sea. Great video❤

Great panning technique Bob

@Bob_Duchesne 3 месяца назад

They are surprisingly speedy. Panning involved twisting my body to follow them in ways that my body hasn't done in a while, LOL.

@TSUNAMI-MAMI Месяц назад

Your videos are lovely

@davearchbell9921 3 месяца назад

I love the way they run along with their body so steady. Great camera work Bob.

@Bob_Duchesne 3 месяца назад

They are SPEEDY! As for great camera work, you should see all the failed shots. When they get up a head of steam, they're harder to follow than flying birds.

Wow! Loved seeing this! ❤️ Greetings from a Swedish youtuber! 🇸🇪

@Bob_Duchesne 2 месяца назад

They caught me by surprise. I didn't even bring my usual vlog camera - just my Canon video camera. But they were SO cooperative!

@louisebelair2245 3 месяца назад

Thank you! They are so cute indeed.

@Bob_Duchesne 3 месяца назад

And fast! I think they can outrun sanderlings.

@Sam-hf8nq 3 месяца назад

VIxia is the perfect tool for the job...nice! Please do another video when the chicks are hatched. Cotton balls on stilts with a cute scale of 11!

@jimeager 3 месяца назад

I believe you're correct on the pairing up. I noticed toward the end of your video a PIPL sashaying up to another bird. So cute.

@LucianObsidian 9 дней назад

I got to see about 5 chicks and maybe 3 adults in a closed off conservation area. They were within 40ft from the edge. Though it was very sunny and the photos didn't come out great

@leobachand8408 3 месяца назад

Great video!!!! We really like the piping plover. Nice work!!

@mieczyslawkuzma3739 3 месяца назад

Thanks for showing this cute tiny plover. I hoped to see him at Bolivar Flats in Texas, but unfortunately I missed him. The breeding area was fenced there, not in Maine?

@snarkysnarker 3 месяца назад

the breeding area is fenced in Chicago

One of the birds on my list for the year to get photos of.

@MisterNohbdy 3 месяца назад

guess you can tell they're endangered by the fact that they're banded :P but most of them look like they're banded on _both_ legs, huh

Do you use eBird?

@Bob_Duchesne Месяц назад

Yes, I definitely do.

@brocktoon8 Месяц назад

Thank you so much for not revealing their locations.

@qqxk 3 месяца назад

How can you get the distance shots of the birds and close shot if yourself at the same time? 🙂👍

@Bob_Duchesne 3 месяца назад

For thumbnails - Photoshop. For video, two cameras. One for far, one for near. Only, I wasn't expecting to make a video that morning and didn't even bring my little camera.😊

@qqxk 3 месяца назад

@@Bob_Duchesne love your videos, not just for those great birding tip but also the variety of camera angle, very relaxing in front of the camera... Thanks for sharing.😊
