Face painting, "critter crafts," educational presentations and beach ecology, games, and bird watching will be part of the festivities. The piping plover, a small, stocky, sandy-colored bird, became a protected species under the Endangered Species Act in 1986. They live and nest along the Atlantic Coast, particularly in designated areas along Rockaway's shoreline.
