Nesting Coastal Birds

Description

While most shorebirds nest in the Arctic, piping plovers, American oystercatchers, and willets depend on Cape Cod's coastal habitats for nesting and raising their young. Explore the shoreline of Barnstable Harbor as we learn more about these birds' nesting requirements, natural history, and management efforts.
