THE PIPING PLOVERS OF MOONLIGHT BAY features a pair of courageous plovers and the adventures of their blended brood of chicks. Raising tiny, marshmallow-sized baby birds on a crowded urban beach is a perilous occupation, and the family faces many life-threatening obstacles. The plover's life story is one of nature's most heartwarming examples of adaptation and survival. Each year, northward migrating plovers return to breeding sites along the Atlantic Coast, Great Lakes and Great Plains regions.
