Hiding in Plain Sight: The Western Snowy Plover

With their sand-colored feathers, speckled eggs and chicks, snowy plovers blend in perfectly to their beach and dune environment. Despite this clever camouflage, snowy plovers are a threatened species due to habitat loss, predation, and human-caused disturbance.

Join local State Park biologist Alison Cebula for a guided walk and talk about these remarkable little shorebirds and the challenges they face. Learn not only how to tell a plover from other shorebirds, but also how you can help protect one of our most charming wild neighbors.
