Newborn terns were too weak to hatch or unable to completely emerge from their eggshell. Others birds that were able to hatch quickly developed combinations of the following symptoms: swollen or encrusted eyes, bloody nares, patchy feather development, and necrotic skin at the base of the bill and legs.

  • Summary of 2017 Massachusetts Piping Plover Census Data
    SUMMARY OF THE 2017 MASSACHUSETTS PIPING PLOVER CENSUS Bill Byrne, MassWildlife SUMMARY OF THE 2017 MASSACHUSETTS PIPING PLOVER CENSUS ABSTRACT This report summarizes data on abundance, distribution, and reproductive success of Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) in Massachusetts during the 2017 breeding season. Observers reported breeding pairs of Piping Plovers present at 147 sites; 180 additional sites were surveyed at least once, but no breeding pairs were detected at them. The population increased 1.4% relative to 2016. The Index Count (statewide census conducted 1-9 June) was 633 pairs, and the Adjusted Total Count (estimated total number of breeding pairs statewide for the entire 2017 breeding season) was 650.5 pairs. A total of 688 chicks were reported fledged in 2017, for an overall productivity of 1.07 fledglings per pair, based on data from 98.4% of pairs. Prepared by: Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife 2 SUMMARY OF THE 2017 MASSACHUSETTS PIPING PLOVER CENSUS INTRODUCTION Piping Plovers are small, sand-colored shorebirds that nest on sandy beaches and dunes along the Atlantic Coast from North Carolina to Newfoundland. The U.S. Atlantic Coast population of Piping Plovers has been federally listed as Threatened, pursuant to the U.S. Endangered Species Act, since 1986. The species is also listed as Threatened by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife pursuant to Massachusetts’ Endangered Species Act. Population monitoring is an integral part of recovery efforts for Atlantic Coast Piping Plovers (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1996, Hecht and Melvin 2009a, b). It allows wildlife managers to identify limiting factors, assess effects of management actions and regulatory protection, and track progress toward recovery.

  • STATUS of the PIPING PLOVER in MASSACHUSETTS by George W. Gove, Ashland
    STATUS OF THE PIPING PLOVER IN MASSACHUSETTS by George W. Gove, Ashland On January 10, 1986, the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) was added to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service list of endangered and threatened species of wildlife. The entire breeding popula­ tion of this species in North America has been estimated at less than 2200 pairs. Piping Plovers breed in the Great Plains from southern Alberta eastward to Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Nebraska; at scattered locations around the Great Lakes; and on the Atlantic Coast from the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Maritimes to Virginia and the Carolines. They winter along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from South Carolina to Texas and north­ ern Mexico. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service designated the Great Lakes population, which is down to less than twenty pairs, as "endangered," a term applied when extinction is imminent, and the Great Plains and Atlantic Coast populations as "threatened" (describing the state that is precursor to "endangered"). The decline of the Atlantic Coast population has been attributed to increasing recreational use and development of ocean beaches. In Massachusetts, the Piping Plover breeds coastally from Salis­ bury south and east to Cape Cod, the islands, and Westport. It is normally found in the state from mid-March through mid-September. This species makes a shallow nest, sometimes lined with fragments of shells, with pebbles, or wrack, along ocean beaches and filled- in areas near inlets and bays. The normal clutch of pale, sand- colored, speckled eggs is four. Incubation is underway by mid- May in Massachusetts.

This amazing first-state-record bird stayed well into October. See the field note on page 284. On September 9, Anne Middleton spotted an adult male Rufous Hummingbird at her feeder in Yarmouth. It only stayed two days, but she captured definitive photos (right). Can you say “Say’s Phoebe?” It was that kind of Autumn, with Say’s Phoebes reported on Cape Cod and on Plum Island. The phoebe at Race Point in Provincetown was found by Paul Champlin on September 11 and was photographed by Mark Faherty (below left) on that day. On October 2, John Nelson discovered a Say’s Phoebe on Plum Island. Nancy Landry took this photograph the next day (below, right).

    STATUS OF PIPING PLOVEES IN MASSACHUSETTS: 1987 SUMMARY November 23, 1987 Scott M. Melvin Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife 100 Cambridge St. Boston, MA. 02202 STATUS OF PIPING PLOVERS IN MASSACHUSETTS: 1987 SUMMARY Observers reported a total of 126 breeding pairs of Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) from 49 sites in Massachusetts in 1987 (Table 1). The 1987 total was lower than in either of the previous 2 years - 139 pairs (1986) and 132 pairs (1985). Observer effort in 1987, measured as number of sites surveyed and intensity of census efforts at each site, was greater than in 1985 and at least comparable to that in 1986. Thus, we believe the 1987 census results reflect a real population decline. We define breeding pairs as pairs that are observed with .either a nest or unfledged chicks, or that exhibit site tenacity and evidence of pair bonding and territoriality. Single birds that are observed during the breeding season and exhibit agitated, site tenacious behavior or distraction displays when approached are generally considered indicative of a breeding pair at a site. Breeding plovers were present at coastal sites from Plum Island south to the Rhode Island border and east to Cape Cod and Nantucket. All but 10 pairs (92%) occurred south of Boston, and 66 pairs (52%) occurred at sites on Cape Cod. More specifically, 10 pairs (8%) occurred at sites on the North Shore (New Hampshire border south to Boston), 10 pairs (8%) along the South Shore (Boston south to the Cape Cod Canal), 29 pairs (23%) at lower Cape Cod sites (Cape Cod Canal east to Brewster and Harwich) , 37 pairs (29%) on the outer Cape (Chatham and Monomoy NWR north to Provincetown), 20 pairs (16%) along the west shore of Buzzards Bay (Wareham south to Rhode Island border) and 20 pairs (16%) on the outer islands (Elizabeth Islands east to Nantucket).
