Can you find two plovers in this picture? When you’re enjoying the beach this holiday, follow these tips from the American Bird Conservancy: 1) avoid roped-off areas and places where birds congregate; 2) don’t approach birds sitting on the sand, they may be nesting; 3) avoid activities that disturb birds, like fireworks or kites; 4) control children and pets; 5) and don’t feed the birds—nature does that. Oh and have a great #4thofJuly!
