DNREC, USFWS and Tri-State Bird Rescue Collaborate to Rehab Adult Piping Plover
“Nomad,” an adult piping plover that had spent much of his migratory life on Delaware beaches, went further inland for rehabilitation recently at Tri-State Bird Rescue in Newark after sustaining an injury at Fowlers Beach on Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. Through the efforts of DNREC, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Tri-State, Nomad made his way back to a healthy beach-nesting lifestyle upon his release in July at The Point on Cape Henlopen.
