piping plover is our back and officially eggs spectating.

See what I did there.

Imani and see rocket were reunited at Montrose Beach barely a week ago and are not wasting any time getting reconnected.

Our Patty, what Lee joins us now with more.

So let's back things up.

Patty, remind us why clovers breeding in this area such a big deal in the Yeah.

I know that there's people out there who are like why with the planters all the time.

>> But remember, they're a listed endangered species.

There's only a couple 100 of them across the entire Great Lakes back in the 80's.

They were down to maybe only a dozen breeding pairs today.

Their stronghold is up north in Michigan by Sleeping Bear Dunes.

So the fact that Monti in rows back in 2019 found each other on a beach in Chicago, the 3rd biggest city in the U.S. is amazing.

And the fact that they continue to return and that their offspring have found love here.

That's pretty cool.

Endangered species on a Chicago beach.

That's a big deal.

That is pretty cool.

So what is the latest then with the money and see rocket?

So yes, Nancy record.

We know they have one egg clovers tend to usually have a collective eggs 4.

>> And they can lay an egg like maybe every day, every other day.

So few more days will know if we're going to get a full clutch and then I would expect maybe sometime by the end of June middle end of June.

We might see something hatches, marriage wings.

All right.

So this is not the pairs first year breeding.

Remind how last year went.

Yeah.

Last year they had 4 chicks.

Only one of them got most survived.

>> And we're still waiting to see a We don't know what gender.

>> They are.

And if they do come back, sometimes your first year, birds, their first migration, they arrive a little bit later.

So there's also some clovers up further north in Illinois on a beach, a private beach in Waukegan blaze and Pepper also were first time parents last year.

They're back.

We're waiting for an announcement on their nesting success.

And if any of their chicks from last year make it back.

So more excitement, we could have a clover explosions and going blow versus right.

So other plover is, as you've mentioned across the Great Lakes Basin nesting when are these eggs expected to hatch?

What we know?

Some of them got busy pretty fast.

They got back fast and laid eggs fast.

So we might have some of those starting toward the end of this month will will say, OK, I think we're all looking forward to it.

I know that you will love you.

I would be longer watch.

Plover Ahmed Clover mania.

We've got to come up with something cool.

Yeah, OK, Patty, what thank you so
