Jan. 2021 – Some western snowy
plovers (Charadrius nivosus nivosus, Order
Charadriiformes, Family Charadridae - Plovers >)
have made their home in a fenced off area on the
beach between Chatauqua and the Incline. The
western snowy plover is "a Bird Species of Special
Concern in California (>)."
The species even has a website and movie dedicated
to it (>). |
The bird's design seems a bit out of
balance! |
