I sat in an unobtrusive spot on South Beach for just a few minutes to get this “snippet”…
This is the “alert” call of a nesting Killdeer.
*Please keep all dogs on leash these weeks.
*Please help support our Island and save critical and delicate shore bird habitat-Keep all vehicles off the Beach.

I sat within the tidal pools along what I love to call Sanctuary of Sands west end; parallel to the runway here on Fishers Island. So happy to “report” what certainly appeared to me as an increase in this spring’s shorebird activity. Breeding and non-breeding plumage is visible on Ruddy turnstone, Killdeer and Black-bellied plover standing “Sentinel”.
** Please be mindful and leash dogs during this precious nesting time.
