Imani is still having his single summer on the beach — a hoped-for mate never materializing — but it’s a different story elsewhere across the Great Lakes. Big picture: 2023 is shaping up as a banner breeding year for plovers.
After an initial frenzy over the return of Chicago’s own Imani, it's been a quiet start to summer, at least for plover watching, at Montrose Beach.Imani is still batching it on the beach — a hoped-for mate never materializing — but it’s a different story elsewhere across the Great Lakes. Bigger picture, 2023 is shaping up as a banner breeding year for plovers.
“And it’s still early June, when we usually find a few more pairs out there,” the group posted to social media. “Fingers crossed we reach or even surpass our 76 pair record! Time will tell. Either way, we are ecstatic to have our pair count in the 70s again this year.”The Great Lakes piping plover population was listed as federally endangered in 1986, its nesting pairs having plummeted to a dozen or so — all of them in Michigan — down from historic numbers of 500 to 800 pairs.
But numbers have dipped in recent years, due to high water and storms, which is why this year’s rebound is especially encouraging to members of the recovery effort.
