The culprits also damaged fencing surrounding two nests for the threatened shorebirds.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.A federal manhunt is underway for the vandals who took eggs from the nests of piping plover shorebirds at a Far Rockaway beach last month.
Photos from the scene show the sides of the wire enclosures knocked down and what appear to be at least two sets of footprints in the sand. The federal agency said in a news release they are reviewing footage captured by game cameras set up by the parks department near the nests. The vandals damaged fencing around two piping plover nests and stole two eggs from each nest, authorities said.The piping plover is the one of the few threatened animal species within New York City. There are less than 8,000 of the birds remaining worldwide, according to Chris Allieri, founder of the NYC Plover Project.
“Sometimes they're not happy with the beach closures so they go in there to destroy the nests thinking that then the beaches would be open,” Sinkevich said.
