Piping Plover
The piping plover (''Charadrius melodus'') is a small sand-colored, sparrow-sized wader, shorebird that nests and feeds along coastal sand and gravel beaches in North America. The adult has yellow-orange-red legs, a black band across the forehead from eye to eye, and a black stripe running along the breast line. This chest band is usually thicker in males during the breeding season, and it is the only reliable way to tell the sexes apart. The bird is difficult to see when it is standing still, as it blends well with open, sandy beach habitats. It typically runs in short, quick spurts and then stops. There are two subspecies of piping plovers: the eastern population is known as ''Charadrius melodus melodus'' and the mid-west population is known as ''C. m. circumcinctus''. The bird's name is derived from its plaintive bell-like whistles which are often heard before the bird is visible. Total population is currently estimated to be between 7600 - 8400 individuals.

Barachois
A barachois is a term used in Atlantic Canada, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Réunion and Mauritius Island to describe a coastal lagoon partially or totally separated from the ocean by a sand or shingle bar. Sometimes the bar is constructed of boulders, as is the case at Freshwater Bay near St. John’s, Newfoundland. Salt water may enter the barachois during high tide. The bar often is formed as a result of sediment deposited in the delta region of a river or – as is the case in Miquelon – by a tombolo. Name The English term comes from the French language, where the word is pronounced . The term comes from a Basque word, ''barratxoa'', meaning ''little bar''. The popular derivation from the French ''barre à choir'' is without historical merit. In Newfoundland English, the word has become pronounced (and sometimes written) as ''barrasway''.
