Maybe if the morons realized the plovers are NOT native to the cape, then they'll know why the numbers are down. The birds are leaving the area because of predators, how can you blame the birds? ya, close the beaches to humans, that makes alot of sense  |

Me neither. Got two of them this year on my way to the wash and learned a third one a lesson he'll not soon forget courtesy of my 4Runner skid plate. I don't move an inch anymore, I let them decide how its going to turn out.

I am with Habs on this one. After speaking with the guy out here who "manages" the beach closings...I am convinced birds or no birds they don't want you out there. The birds are a pawn they are using to keep you off the beach. IMO the birds would do better if there were vehicle traffic! The birds that have done the best are the ones that nest near a busy area where there are lots of traffic and few preditors. The ones that nest in the remote beach areas get nailed by storms or skunks/coons/crows etc.
Why don't they just pick up the birds and MOVE them to NOMANS, MUSKEGET, TUCKERNUCK, MONOMOY or any of the other islands that are for the most part dedicated as a bird scancuary and have few preditors, OR force them to nest elsewhere, chase them away and let them "find" these areas. It is clear to me the system they have in place is not working. Of course it is not THEIR fault or program that is failing, it is the storms that killed them.yeah right.
The beach closings this summer sucked and it was for naught!
