Imani, a piping plover bird, is Monty and Rose's chick. The couple laid it at Montrose Beach last year.
"I just think it's very exciting," Itani said, who spotted Imani at Montrose."It didn't actually hit me until I was leaving the beach that, oh my goodness, we haven't had that happen before."Is this just a stopover? Will he stay and nest?These are questions experts can't know for certain yet, said Armand Cann, biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
There's no ecological explanation for why Imani flew up North and then headed back South, Cann said. It may simply be that Montrose is a habitat that feels familiar, he said."If a mate doesn't show up, my thinking is that he'll probably keep traveling to a location where he finds a mate and can nest," Itani said.
His mate, Rose, who in past years has arrived at a similar time to Monty, is still nowhere to be found."He used to feed with Monty by the volleyball court," Itani said,"and he was seen feeding there this afternoon.""The fact that he survived his first season, being a new bird, means that he was able to learn what he needed to learn in order to survive," Cann said."Birds who have survived the first year are more likely to return because of their experience.
