Description

Set against the backdrop of the ever-dynamic Atlantic shoreline, 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. Unlike most birds, plovers nest on beaches where people also enjoy a full range of recreational activities. The documentary illustrates how conservation partners have provided safe corridors that allow these highly vulnerable birds to raise chicks to fledge at even the most well-loved beaches. A film for all ages, THE PIPING PLOVERS OF MOONLIGHT BAY is designed to inspire viewers with a love for wildlife and their habitats while fostering a deeper understanding of the vital role wildlife plays in our interconnected ecosystem.
