… & not just the other way around. As you read this post, migratory birds are in flight across our hemisphere and around the globe. We share the planet with them, today and always.

It’s World Migratory Bird Day, & as many of us mark the occasion by looking at birds today, here’s to the birds as they look at us. Spending time with plovers, we see these intelligent sentient beings examining us, which helps us to understand & respect our place in their world..

Kindly mind posted rules & signs + walk / jog around - not through - flocks of shorebirds + carry out what you take in. If you see one of our volunteers or our partners from @GatewayNPS or @NYCParks on the beach, come say hello! Thank you!

They are New Yorkers too! And, we must do everything we can to protect this intrepid endangered species. Here’s a few important tips: Please no dogs on New York City beaches - or any beaches where Piping Plovers & other beach-nesting birds nest; no kites or drones; & no e-bikes.

Thank you @RepTomSuozzi! We must keep the Endangered Species Act strong & intact! Thank you for your leadership in protecting our endangered species in the great state of New York & beyond!

Happy 5th Anniversary, NYC Plover Project! ❤️

In March 2021, we were an Instagram account with a few followers & a dream. A dream, and a promise, to protect this intrepid endangered species - every bit New Yorker as the rest of us - with all our might.

This plover was our first post. Now, 5 years later this week, we are going strong. We are leading programs in schools from 1st grade through 12th, engaging communities with countless programs events & our volunteers have worked nearly 20,000 hours …

And we hold one species especially close to our hearts, our mission, our work, the one nesting endangered species in our city, the Piping Plover. Fewer than 8,000 remain, and we are fighting hard to protect them.

Join us❤️
