Background:
After observing an alarming population decline in 1995, relative to the breeding population we recorded in the 70's and 80s, PRBO recommended the use of nest exclosures to protect Snowy Plover eggs in Point Reyes National Seashore from ravens and other predators. Since the use of nest exclosures, PRBO has documented increased hatching success of Snowy Plovers.
