2014 Final Report on the Western Snowy Plovers

Abstract

In 2014 we continued with the monitoring of the WSP population at Coal Oil Point Reserve as in previous years. We had predator control during most of the breeding season, but nest predation by mammalian predators was high. However, chick fledge rates were higher than average. Nesting on the mud flats was also the highest on record.
