Piping Plover

Post by BillK »

Model I created of a Piping Plover. Endangered species that is coming back. This is carved in Ipe and coated in teak oil. Will be mounted on a fence post near where there are many real piping plovers.

Nice modeling Bill...especially like his front leg! :)

Yep, The Rachel Carson near you is perfect protected habitat.
Nearest beach to me is Goose Rocks, and had 6 pair last year.
They've already got the nests taped off...and beach residents FIRMLY enforcing the leash laws,
so dogs don't eat the eggs and disturb the nests.

The Ipe should withstand our weather. :)
Great work!
I've learned my lesson well. You can't please everyone,so you have to please yourself

Thanks Scott. Wells beach has many nests also caged off with a closed top. I think the wire is big enough for the Mama to get out, but won’t allow anything in. We got close enough to see one sitting on the eggs, right in the middle of the 20’ diameter cage. Seems to be working well, seeing many more plovers running on the beach these days.
