Coast are watching for color-banded Piping plovers. These
“bracelet-wearing” shorebirds were banded down in the Bahamas this
winter as part of research done by Dr. Cherie Gratto-Trevor of Environment
Canada. To date, thirteen banded plovers have arrived and nested on Cape Cod
beaches including locations in Harwich and Wellfleet.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
