Скачать или смотреть Baby Piping Plover Chick is CUTE

The Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) is a small, sandy-colored shorebird that relies on open beaches and dunes to raise its young. Listed as threatened in the U.S. and endangered in Canada, its populations face increasing pressure from habitat loss and human activity. Within just 3 hours of hatching, a Piping Plover chick is able to walk, follow its parents, and begin foraging for small insects and marine invertebrates—a critical behavior for survival in the wild. These chicks do not return to a nest after hatching and must be constantly alert to avoid predators, including gulls, foxes, and even off-leash dogs. With fewer than 8,400 individuals remaining across North America, each chick’s journey is a vital step toward the species’ recovery.
