On Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia, we confirmed that a banded female Piping Plover ( Charadrius melodus melodus ) produced two broods of chicks during the 2000 nesting season, the second on a beach approximately 2 km from the first. The female abandoned her second brood two days after hatching, leaving the male to complete brood rearing.
