Avery Miner - community easel 


This week I worked on the graphic that will be shown on the easel.

By using projection we got to see what it might look like in its final

stage and allowed us to work out the bugs.


I will also be further defining the graphic in the middle and using illustrations

in place of the stock imagery, alongside more information about the

life cycle of piping plovers. These are some bits of information I will be

adding to the infographic:


  • returns to its breeding ground in late March or early April


  • Piping plovers and their eggs blend in very well with the sand, which is good

            camouflage from predators, but it can put them in danger of being stepped on by humans.


  • Piping plovers are particularly vulnerable to off-road vehicles, which tear up plover

            habitat, which can kill birds, and crush nests and eggs


  • Adults will feign a broken wing, drawing attention to itself and away from their chicks

            when a predator is near.


  • Piping plovers eat marine worms, fly larvae, beetles, insects, crustaceans, mollusks

            and other small invertebrates
