> The banded juvenile Piping Plover was still present inside the Montrose
> Dune Habitat Protection Area from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. today.  Volunteers
> (who left at 3 p.m. after weeding invasive species and monitoring native
> plants in the dunes) observed the Plover throughout the day feeding at the
> shoreline and resting occasionally under the dune vegetation.  The other
> peeps previously mentioned, mostly Semi-Palmated and Least Sandpipers plus
> three Semi-Palmated Plovers, were also present.  There was no further sign
> of the Peregrines.
>
> Sometimes it's hard to believe that on one of Chicago's largest and most
> popular public beaches, where thousands of people are swimming,
> sunbathing, fishing, playing volleyball, flying kites, and recreating in
> many other ways, that migrant birds are also resting, feeding, and
> regrouping for their long journey south.  When the Montrose Dune Habitat
> was created approximately six years ago, I was not sure this scenario was
> possible.  Today I can say that it is.  We are grateful to the Chicago
> Park District for establishing and nurturing the Montrose Dune Habitat,
> which provides critical, high-quality stopover habitat for the federally
> endangered Piping Plover and many other bird species.
