Hi Folks - 05/02/07 A single PIPING PLOVER remained on the 'swimming beach' of Headlands Beach State Park this morning and into the afternoon; likely into the evening as well. The bird spent the majority of time higher up in the 'tide zone'...where there is a magnificent amount of debris from this past month's stormy weather. Here it weaved in and out of old tires, McDonald's straws, and driftwood. Its visits to the stony beach provided good photo opportunities. A gorgeous bird. cheers Jen Jen Brumfield Akron, Ohio [log in to unmask] Birding America / www.birding-america.com Illustrator/Naturalist, Cleveland Metroparks Nikon Birding Optics ProStaff/ nikonusa.com Editorial Advisor, A Bird's-Eye View / ABA personal site: www.meadowhawkart.com "Journeys, like artists, are born and not made.
