"Obie" (O,b/O:X,- yellow dot) beat the previous record early return date by one day! He was reported by Michael Burkoksi at Kingsville, Ontario on April 4th. He only stayed there one day and is likely headed back to his usual breeding territory on Cat Island in Green Bay, WI. We don't know where he winters.
It didn't take long before more Piping Plovers showed up in the Great Lakes.
On 4/8 Scott Mills at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, MI found three more returnees. "GOO" (Named for his bands: Orange flag, Green, Orange, USGS, Orange), a male that nests at Sleeping Bear Point was back from his winter at Harbor Island, SC.
"Yib-Bee" (Named for his bands: Orange flag, Yellow, light blue, metal, dark Blue), a male that nests along Platte Bay was back from his winter in an unknown location.
LiVY (Named for her bands: Orange flag, bLack, Violet, metal, Yellow), a female that also nests along Platte Bay had returned from her winter on Anclote Key, FL.
Today, 4/9/2025, two more males had made it back to their nesting area along Platte Bay.
biNG (Named for his bands: Orange flag, light blue, browN, metal, Green) had arrived from his winter on Hilton Head Island, SC.
OGY (Named for his bands: Orange flag, Orange, Green, metal, Yellow) arrived from an unknown wintering location.
The excitement of the season has begun!
Great interview, but if I'm being honest felt more like 'why I'm still a Calvinist' than 'Christian'. I respect that Kristen's faith tradition is important to her, and she can obviously share to the level she feels comfortable with and no more, but this was a very intellectual conversation. I'd have appreciated hearing more about Kristen's personal faith in Jesus Himself and why that is not shaken despite the attacks she's endured. picarobomboniere.com

I read your post about the treatment of hyperhidrosis and it helped explain why some people sweat more than usual and how it can affect daily life in simple terms. Last semester when I was almost done with a big law essay I felt overwhelmed and had to late at night because avirex leather jackets I needed fresh eyes on my formatting and grammar. It made me realize asking for help can really lift a weight off your shoulders.
