BIRDS OF THE BAHAMA ISLANDS. 149 
The Piping Plover is abundant throughout the Bahamas dur- 
ing the winter, and I procured specimens as late as June 5, 
although at that date they were much less common than in winter. 
I believe that some few remain throughout the year, and of course 
breed; but I was unable to ascertain this to be a fact. Dr. Bryant 
gives it as abundant, and “resident throughout the year.” It is a 
social little species, and is generally to be found in flocks frequent- 
ing the open beaches.
