Avian Adventures: Beach Nesting Birds

Both people and birds flock to Massachusetts beaches in the summer. However, several of the birds that nest on our sandy coast, such as Piping Plovers, Least Terns, and American Oystercatchers, face many survival challenges. Learn about these shorebirds, the challenges they face, their population trends in Massachusetts, and what actions and tools we can all use to protect them in this online program.
