If they would realize that the birds nest on spoil islands for a purpose. The are no predators such as racoons, foxes, opossums and coyotes. Nature educated these birds to adapt to these safe nesting aeras. The reason there are some nesting on the mainland beach of Hatteras Island is that the carrying capacity of the spoil islands is maxed out with as many nests that they can handle. Therefore there is an overage of breeding birds so they have to locate on the beaches.
Wake up….there is a surplus of breeding pairs.

Let’s relocate all of the piping plovers to the Audobon’s oceanfront property in Pine Island and open the Park Service property back up to the public.

I commend the county for trying to protect the rights of humans. I dare say there are a lot more humans that enjoy the coast of NC than piping plovers. We have rights too. I will not be upset if I never see another piping plover. PLEASE audobon, back off of some of your underlying issues. Let’s think about protecting the quality of life and providing recreational opportunity for all. It is much more important for my grandchildren to have a quality of life.
