Piping Plovers

Gaurded by volunteers 24 hours a day, this pair of Piping Plovers have returned to Wasaga Beach to nest. Sadly the chicks rarely make it, they are tiny and frail, between big waves sweeping them away, dogs, people, and predators they have a hard time raising their chicks.

Osprey

This was an interesting senerio, one bird was injured and the other was attempting to get it to fly up to the nest. Eventually it retreated to some bushes, we called the Osprey rescue who came and picked up the injured bird. Near Orillia.
