, one half of Chicago’s beloved piping plover power couple, the city’s birding community has cause for celebration.Imani, one of Monty and Rose’s 2021 chicks, has been positively identified on a beach in Duluth, Minnesota.
Great Lakes piping plovers, never a particularly common or widespread species, have been dwindling in numbers for more than 100 years, according to the Great Lakes Piping Plover Recovery Effort. Once down to just 11 to 14 breeding pairs, the plover population has slightly rebounded in recent decades due to intensive conservation efforts. Plover monitors have reported a total of 30 active nests in the Great Lakes so far this year, with another 22 potential pairs also identified. Still the birds remain extremely vulnerable, which is one reason the tale of Monty and Rose, who improbably raised three successive groups of chicks on a beach in Chicago, gave people hope for plovers’ future.
