A protected piping plover chick was illegally removed from a RI beach last week by vacationers who brought it home to MA.

When the chick became ill, it was brought to a wildlife rehabilitator. Despite the best efforts of veterinarians, the chick had become too weak from the ordeal and died.

An investigation is ongoing. This serves as an important reminder to not disturb or interfere with plovers or other wildlife.
