      Gregg is resting now… within an hour of hatching plover chicks are walking. Plover chicks have to walk because they must feed themselves. Dad is responsible for most post hatch care and watches over the chicks as they forage. Plovers feed on small invertebrates that inhabit wrack washed up on the beach.
