Reddish egrets are usually solitary when feeding and often maintain a certain distance from other egrets. They are quite territorial and can be seen chasing away intruders from their hunting grounds.

Wilson`s Plovers are slightly larger than several of the small plovers in the family, and they have a more southerly distribution, living on beaches along the southern Atlantic and Gulf Coasts.
Don’t forget to #ShareTheShore with this adorable plover and our other beloved coastal birds if you’re heading to the beach this summer! You can help keep them safe by giving them at least 100 feet of space so they can nest and rest. 💖

You all got a sneak peek of this pup last week, but now we can officially introduce him as Griffin!
Griffin was found on the outer coast, suffering from maternal separation and malnutrition, and arrived at the Rescue Center on May 12th. Since then, he’s been getting four meals of harbor seal milk substitute a day, and all the vitamins and medications he needs to regain his health.
Stay tuned for updates on Griffin, and please remember to keep your distance from seals resting along the shoreline so we can keep pups and moms together in the wild.
