There are roughly 8,000 piping plovers in the entire world.
There was somebody in the, uh, roped-up area. We had one runner kind of like blow through. And I was like, Hey, this is a, there's an endangered bird over here. They were like outside of the roped-off area for a while. *laughter*This is what happens when we do close a beach. The chicks and the birds, like, will immediately exit the closure, ‘cause it's, like, not sufficient. They're like, no, no, no. We meant the whole beach!The volunteers have a deceptively hard job.
And when I can show young people, like that's a parent, that's a chick like really close by. I mean, that's like, such a, a gift to be able to do that. I feel like I'm passing along something that someone was kind enough to pass to me.NYC news never sleeps. Get the Gothamist Daily newsletter and don't miss a moment.
