Wrapping up another spectacular field season working with #PipingPlovers! Here's a thread of some season highlights of what we've been up to on the beaches of #FireIsland:
Everyone thinks working on a beach is a breeze! That is until you realize how abrasive the sand and wind can be on your face after 5+ hours. To combat this, I wear a variety of neck buffs & my polarized sunglasses on the daily to prevent eye strain from hours in the sunlight.
Most of my workday is comprised of surveying PIPL nesting habitat using a spotting scope. This allows us to see plovers from afar and count of how many banded vs. unbanded individuals are in the study area and read the unique band/flag combinations on the banded individuals.
