In the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, June days offer almost continuous daylight to breeding birds, including this Black-bellied Plover. At this high latitude, Black-bellied Plovers can complete their breeding cycle in a month and a half. Not long after the summer solstice, the adults begin their southbound migration, without their young. Juveniles don't migrate with their parents, but wait a month.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

DFO biologist Joanie Van de Walle says the seal population in the Gulf of St. Lawrence is getting older + Jessica Vincent, project coordinator with the Indian Bay Ecosystem Corp., says after 11 years without sightings, two piping plovers have been seen in Cape Freels.
Much like the Christian life, the Golden Plover is created to do something that, apart from God, could never be accomplished. God designed this humble little bird to fly 2,500 miles non-stop from Alaska to Hawaii every year. But, biologically, mathematically, and aeronautically this feat is not just improbable—it's impossible. As believers, like the Golden Plover, we were created for the impossible. The question is, are we, like the Plover ready to head out over the stormy ocean waters and watch what God will do when we trust Him to lead us to the Promised Land.

A male American Golden-Plover proclaims its nesting territory with an aerial display known as the "butterfly flight." After flying up 50 feet, the plover switches to slow motion, raising its wings languidly until the wingtips nearly touch over its body, then lowering them gradually until they almost touch below – all the while calling. The plover sustains these slow and exaggerated wing-beats for nearly a minute – hanging in the air like an enormous butterfly.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

When I do, I want you to go ahead and make those reservations for Washington Watch. Blast this week!

Like most juvenile shorebirds, this young Black-bellied Plover was abandoned by parents that began their southbound flights from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge a few weeks earlier. It will join other young Black-bellied Plovers as they make their way south. This little flock of birds could arrive on the coast of Washington within a few days if they make a direct flight, or within a week or more if they stop at a wetland along the way. Some will stay, but others continue their continent-spanning journey, arriving in coastal Venezuela at the end of December.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

As the second part of our supper club series, we again discussed the merits of a Wisconsin Supper Club versus places that use the term in other states - it can be vastly different. We also discussed Ron's experiences with researching and writing his books on supper clubs across the state before diving into some more examples of terrific clubs to visit. They included places in cities, like Milwaukee's Jackson Grill - one example of a supper club that had closed for a while but reopened - and Toby's Supper Club in Madison. We went to different corners of the state, from 3 Mile Supper Club in the extreme southwest to Hob Nob in the Racine/Kenosha area in the southeast and from Dreamland Supper Club in South Range near Superior in the northwest to River's Edge outside Marinette in the northeast. Unique features or histories of some supper clubs were discussed, including the first chilled salad bar in the United States making its debut at the Sky Club in Plover; the many many many antlers and animal pelts at Antlers Supper Club in Bonduel; the beautiful surroundings at Ishnala on Mirror Lake in Wisconsin Dells; the 160-oz.

Episode: 2705 The Killdeer, a special bird of the waterways. Today, a special bird.
Howie is honestly pretty bummed he didn't make the Official List of Loathing belonging to none other than Mayor Michelle Wu. On the list are the Mendoza brothers in the North End and several others who have been on the show but no Howie. Then, Emma Foley joins the show to share her latest man-on-the-street nearby the Southie beach closed for mating (or is it dating?) Piping Plovers.
Howie welcomes Boston City Councilor Erin Murphy to the show to prove there's still normalcy and common sense in Wu's city. Erin Murphy explains the upcoming procedure for opening the L Street beach. Maybe it'll be open by Labor Day! It's all because of the Piping Plovers, a bird that's really trivial when it comes down to it.

Piping Plovers are tiny, sand-colored shorebirds that nest on the beach. They're threatened in much of their range. But plovers have gotten a boost from something rather surprising: hurricanes. Superstorm Sandy left behind plant-free, sandy beaches on barrier islands in New York and New Jersey, which actually offers better camouflage for nesting plovers. Where these hurricane-created habitats were protected, Piping Plovers have boomed.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

The Magellanic Plover is known for being a bit of an oddball. These shorebirds have a round body like a dove and even feed their young with milk produced in a part of their digestive system called the crop — a rare trait they share with doves. But genetic data revealed that Magellanic Plovers are neither plovers nor doves — they're the only species in the family Pluvianellidae. Genetically speaking, they're one of a kind.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
