One of the #ChicagoPipingPlovers

Two piping plovers on the pier at 63rd St. Beach, with the lake and some buildings in the background. They are small, with gray and white feathers.

@chicagopiping.bsky.social we shared a lovely morning with Bean and El at 63rd St. Beach today. Video later 😁

Saw Chicago’s very own endangered Piping Plovers at 63rd St Beach! Not a ton of people around, so we were able to relax and enjoy them for quite a while. As they got used to us, they came quite close, really exciting. Also, 63rd St. Beach is amazing!

Thanks so much, Bean and El, for visiting us on the southside of Chicago 🩵🤍❤️ #pipingplovers #chicago #sharethelove #chicagopipingplovers #lakemichigan #federallyendangered

Thanks for the kind words! I’m very proud of this one - it isn’t currently listed on my Etsy, but I’d be happy to remake it if there’s interest - DM me for details. Love these little beauties, it was a joy to honor them this way.

Monty and Rose forever! Here’s a portrait I made of their kid Imani, along with two others, in 2023. We had a beautiful day visiting them that summer. Grateful to live in a city that values them! #pipingplovers #chicagopipingplovers #montyandrose #birdconservation #endangeredspecies #montrosebeach

If you are familiar with the Montrose Lakefront Bird Sanctuary area in Chicago, you will likely appreciate this! #PipingPlovers #ChicagoBirding #ChicagoBirdRescue #ChicagoPipingPlovers
