The male and female piping plovers that looked and acted like a pair out on
Galveston east beach on Thursday turn out to be at least somewhat related.
Both were banded a few days apart in a gravel pit in Saunders County
Nebraska in June 2014.

So 2 years 5 migrations later they are still together.
I have not read about piping plovers migrating together and it is another
new thing that one learns out there.
