Nests, chicks, and incubating adults are difficult to see with an untrained eye.
Nests, chicks, and incubating adults are difficult to see with an untrained eye.
Sites that attract people……
….are also attractive for shorebirds.
Recreational pressures can cause birds to abandon their nests
Monitor nests every 5-7 days
Until either depredated
Or hatched
