A banded piping plover on the beach at a location that once held many breeding pairs of piping plover's. I later discovered this plover was 7 weeks old and the first one born in 2017 to the Great Lakes Piping Plover population. It was born on June 4th in Manistee Michigan. What an amazing little bird.
A close up of the piping plover which came to within 5 feet of me. These endangered little birds are doing better but they still have a long way to go before they are out of trouble.
A full frame shot of a pair of nesting piping plovers that is ultra rare. These birds started nesting again 4 years ago in Illinois after a long hiatus. They picked the same place they historically nested at the turn of the century. This pair picked a location that has never been used before so I had the rare chance to photograph them while nesting. I am not sure where they were banded but I will find out.

Room clean and looked recently updated. Staff was friendly. One area of concern was the pool. It seemed that the pool chemicals were overused. The smell was overwhelming. Many guests including children were coughing and then left soon after. Witnessed one child coughing so much that they ...
