In Maine, and many other states, the Piping Plover is endangered. In the spring, these little shorebirds return to nest along the sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast. Recently, the first nesting pair of the season was spotted in Southern Maine.

I created my Piping Plover this winter, but I couldn’t bring myself to photograph her in the snow. Spring seems like a much better time for her debut!
