Piping plover Imani returns to Montrose Beach 00:25

CHICAGO (CBS) — Imani, the piping plover, was spotted back at Montrose Beach on Thursday.

He's the nearly 3-year-old son of famed plovers Monty and Rose, who captured Chicago's hearts back in 2019 as people watched for their eggs and chicks .

It's the third straight year Imani has returned to his birthplace.

Last year, three other endangered piping plover chicks , Sea Rocket, Wild Indigo, and Prickly Pear, named after the native plants in the Montrose Beach Dunes natural area, were released at the beach.

They have yet to return.
