- Piping plovers are a federally endangered species because they live and nest on beaches. They're vulnerable to habitat loss and human impacts, but they're also used to seeing people on beaches. They can be tame and really cute. Birding is easy if you know where to look.
Thanks for looking out for the plovers, Bob!
Respect! It's their beach. I just borrow it occasionally.
Great video, very cute little birds! 😊
Got that right Bob! They are soo cute. I see them on the beaches and love how fast their feet move. Not sure if they’re the same exact kind. I always called them Sand Pipers. Good job bringing awareness to them. Great camera BTW!
PP have been my favorite bird as of late. Thank you, Bob! I always enjoy your videos!
One of my favorite birds I saw last year when I went to Maine. Hope to see more in June when I go back!
I agree PPs are the very definition of cuteness. If more people knew how cute they were, more people would want to help conserve them, but then more people would also want to go to the beach to see them, and the added traffic could be a hinderence. Great video
As someone working as a PiPl monitor at a beach, people know very well how cute they are, and some of them still throw hissyfits about how we’re “trying to take the beach away from them”. Way too many people have Plover Derangement Syndrome.
My goal this year is to see them on the sand dunes of West Michigan. They're adorable!
Love this video!! These little guys are so cute!!
Seeing that one Piping plover looking out toward the ocean reminded me of Bobby Darin's love song, Beyond the Sea. Great video❤
I love the way they run along with their body so steady. Great camera work Bob.
They are SPEEDY! As for great camera work, you should see all the failed shots. When they get up a head of steam, they're harder to follow than flying birds.
@@Bob_Duchesne Lol.
"The best way to not look like a threat to a threatened bird is... don't look like a threat!"
That made me laugh so hard. Sometimes common sense is so hard to come by that it's comical. Excellent video.
Wow! Loved seeing this! ❤️ Greetings from a Swedish youtuber! 🇸🇪
They caught me by surprise. I didn't even bring my usual vlog camera - just my Canon video camera. But they were SO cooperative!
Thank you for all the cuteness, Bob! 😊New subscriber here ✨
Great panning technique Bob
They are surprisingly speedy. Panning involved twisting my body to follow them in ways that my body hasn't done in a while, LOL.
I believe you're correct on the pairing up. I noticed toward the end of your video a PIPL sashaying up to another bird. So cute.
Great video!!!! We really like the piping plover. Nice work!!
I just saw them today. I’ll just reveal that it’s in one of the provinces of Canada. They are so cute!, and omg they walk sooooo fast
Heading for Kouchibouguac National Park soon. I have a LOT of birding fun in Canada.
VIxia is the perfect tool for the job...nice! Please do another video when the chicks are hatched. Cotton balls on stilts with a cute scale of 11!
Thank you! They are so cute indeed.
And fast! I think they can outrun sanderlings.
Im in a city next to a river / bay area . In R.I. 2 months ago on my way to the store on my bicycle i saw a baby piper , he looked like a meatball size . A couple days later i saw the parent . I started leaving rice for them and whistle for them . They're still shy , but dont run away. I keep my distance. They are in a parking lot quite away from the water . They seem content ? Im gonna try sitting there quietly and see the response ... they are so cool ! 😊
One of the birds on my list for the year to get photos of.
Omg. Adorable!!!!
Cute AF!
Your videos are lovely
Excellent job Bob!
Thanks for showing this cute tiny plover. I hoped to see him at Bolivar Flats in Texas, but unfortunately I missed him. The breeding area was fenced there, not in Maine?
the breeding area is fenced in Chicago
I got to see about 5 chicks and maybe 3 adults in a closed off conservation area. They were within 40ft from the edge. Though it was very sunny and the photos didn't come out great
Good one Bob. :)
guess you can tell they're endangered by the fact that they're banded :P but most of them look like they're banded on _both_ legs, huh
Awwwh
How can you get the distance shots of the birds and close shot if yourself at the same time? 🙂👍
For thumbnails - Photoshop. For video, two cameras. One for far, one for near. Only, I wasn't expecting to make a video that morning and didn't even bring my little camera.😊
@@Bob_Duchesne love your videos, not just for those great birding tip but also the variety of camera angle, very relaxing in front of the camera... Thanks for sharing.😊
Do you use eBird?
Yes, I definitely do.
Thank you so much for not revealing their locations.
signs don't mean shit !!!!!!!!!!!!
