This excerpt from a talk at our annual Beach Coalition Meeting highlights why surveying for Western Snowy Plovers in late Spring/early summer on southern California beaches is not the most productive thing you could be doing.  These data are from recent years in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.  Note that these numbers are orders of magnitude lower than our Ventura County abundances.
