This is an American Oystercatcher parent sitting on the nest. These guys completed their three egg clutch and have been sitting on the nest for about a week. Only 3 more weeks to go! Oystercatchers lay three eggs, one every other day. However, we happened upon a four egg next this week! It's a rarity, so we'll see what happens.
I found this piping plover nest today! This is a great example of their scrapes- they scrape out a nest bowl and line it with shells for decoration. Oftentimes they choose to scrape by a piece of driftwood, plant, or significant rock.
Hope all you moms felt extra loved today!
