The featured aircraft this year is a World War II SBD Dauntless dive-bomber from the Erickson Aircraft Collection in Madras, Ore. Thanks to the support of the PERSPECTIVE 5 B Prestige Senior Living f the upcoming Father’s Day weekend takes you near the beach, you may encounter some feathered father figures. For shorebirds, including sandpipers, plovers, oystercatchers and other species commonly seen along shoreline areas, male involvement in parental care is often equal to or greater than that of the female. In fact, across shorebird species, it is more common for fathers to care for off- spring than it is for mothers to do so. One notable local shore- bird is the snowy plover. This small bird with a short black bill, tan back and white belly is a threatened species in Oregon. Should you venture near the dunes this time of year you will find areas of restricted access to help pro- tect the plovers during their nesting season, which lasts from March through September. While male and female snowy plovers share egg incubation duties, after the eggs hatch the mother gener- ally deserts the offspring to search for other mates. Looking like downy puff- balls with toothpicks for legs, the young plovers are then cared for by their father until they develop adult feathers, or fledge, which takes about a month. Another locally nesting shorebird, the spotted sand- piper, takes the reversal of stereotypical male and female roles even further. Female sandpipers compete with each other for breeding terri- tories and fights between females sometimes lead to severe injuries. Like the plover, female sandpipers often mate and lay egg clutches with multiple males, a tactic that helps them successfully produce more offspring each season. With females focused on defending territories and finding other mates, males are often left to incubate the eggs alone and raise their young as single fathers. Studies of spotted sand- pipers suggest that the caring behavior of fathers is brought on by a hormone called pro- lactin. Prolactin is considered the “parental care hormone” as increased prolactin levels are associated with caring for offspring in a number of species, including humans. For most birds, prolactin levels are highest in females coinciding with their substan- tial maternal care. However, for the spotted sandpiper, the highest prolactin levels are found in the males caring for their brood. So as you're celebrating the dads in your life, spare a thought for the feathered fathers out there as well. Happy Father’s Day!
