Visiting our Wintering Piping Plover Pepper
by Carolyn Lueck, LCAS board member
In December, 2024, board member and Piping Plover monitor visited Fort Meyers, Florida to check in on Pepper. This is Pepper’s second winter in Florida and volunteers with the Sanibel-Capitva Preservation Foundation (SCCF) and Florida Banded Birds Resighting keep us updated during the nine months he’s on their beaches.
Our Sharing Our Shore-Waukegan program strives to make CONNECTIONS - locally and regionally - as we work to monitor and protect the piping plovers and their habitat and share their story.
Enjoy this travel adventure blog Carolyn put together for Lake County Audubon!
