Ok, which one of you did this
$2,500 REWARD OFFERED IN PIPING PLOVER CASE CONCORD, N.H. – Just as the breeding season for the state endangered and federally threatened piping plover shorebirds got underway earlier this spring, so did a federal investigation into who stole a full clutch of protected plover eggs from Hampton Beach State Park during the first week of May. There were four pairs of piping plovers present on New Hampshire beaches this year: two at Hampton Beach State Park and two at Seabrook Beach. The first pair at Hampton Beach State Park established their nest early in May and biologists set up a protective fence around it to keep predators out. “Unfortunately, someone vandalized the fence and stole all four plover eggs,” said Brendan Clifford, a biologist with the N.H. Fish and Game Department’s Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program.
