Piping Plovers in Connecticut Post

Thanks to the Connecticut Post for talking about our work in the Audubon Alliance for Coastal Waterbirds with Audubon Connecticut! The Connecticut nesting populations have done wonderfully during our work in the past five seasons, setting numerous records, but this year will be difficult after Hurricane Matthew hammered their wintering grounds in the Bahamas: http://www.ctpost.com/local/article/Piping-plover-population-plummets-10830927.php
