"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.
