Come discover the wondrous story of the Piping Plovers of Moonlight Bay. Told through the adventures of Pippi and Papi Plover, and their blended family of chicks, experience the heartwarming story of the Piping Plover, from courtship to nesting to fledging to migration.

Piping Plovers are a sentinel species. They are a bellwether of how successfully wildlife and people interface with one another, especially in light of the growing threat of habitat loss. These remarkably resilient birds are well adapted to life on the beach, but without adequate protective measures, Piping Plovers are extremely vulnerable to human and predator disturbances.

We are inspired by the beauty of the Plover’s life story and also highly aware of the formidable challenges these valiant little birds face at every stage of life.

Learn how we can all become stewards of these pocket-sized, nonetheless, courageous, threatened shorebirds.
