FIELD TRIP: Snowy Plovers on the Strand
DATE: Thursday, March 20, 2025
TIME: 10:00am to 12:00 noon
LEADER: Sharon Iranpour
Trip is limited to 12 participants - Signups will be taken for 24 hours. Participants will be randomly selected. The remainder will be put on standby status in case of cancellations. Only registered people may attend.
Description: After a presentation about the life of this endangered bird and its regular flock mates, the semi-palmated plovers and sanderlings, we’ll walk onto the beach. We’ll look at where they forage and what they eat, both at the water's edge and in dry wrack. We’ll walk to where they are expected to be, nearly invisible in stones and drift, and examine their resting and nesting sites. Shorebirds and gulls will most likely be encountered. Approximately ¾ mile round trip on both hard packed and soft drifted sand. Restrooms are available.
ADA Accessible: No
Experience Level: All Levels Welcome
