First Looks!
Remember the first rule of Plover Club: You do not lose it if a picture has less than 4 chicks in it. 😉

Opening Soon: Chick Naming Contest
Each year, we host a contest for the naming of the Chicago Piping Plover chicks, and each year you delight us with your witty, clever, and thoughtful name suggestions.

So, it's time to start thinking about your name suggestions! We will open the name submission form soon!

The day we have waited for, worked for has come! All 4 chicks have hatched. Our work carries on as we continue to support Sea Rocket and Imani and their chicks. Thank you, as always, for your support.
