What preys on piping plover eggs and chicks?

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2005
Abstract Recovery of the imperiled northern Great Plains population of piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) largely depends on reducing predation on the plover's eggs and chicks, but sources of predation are poorly understood. We examined differences in the productivity of piping plovers managed by various predator exclosure options from central North ...

Distribution and Dispersal in the Piping Plover

The Auk, 1988
Abstract Individually marked Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) were studied from 1981-1987 in Manitoba and Minnesota relative to dispersal patterns of age and sex classes. Unlike monogamous passerines, males returned to former breeding sites only slightly more often than females.

Observations of Fish Consumption by Piping Plovers

Northeastern Naturalist, 2016
Abstract Between April 2014 and August 2015, we observed 4 Charadrius melodus (Piping Plover) consume small, dead fish, including Anchoa mitchilli (Bay Anchovy) on New York barrier islands. These observations are among the first documented evidence of vertebrate prey in Piping Plover diets.

An Overview of the Status and Distribution of Piping Plovers in Virginia

Waterbirds, 2007
Abstract From 1986-2005, Virginia supported between 6% and 13% of the federally threatened Atlantic Coast Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) breeding population with an annual average of 111 nesting pairs (SD ± 25.0, range = 84-192 pairs). The statewide population remained relatively static from 1986-2003 (x = 104.4 pairs, SD ± 12.0, range = 84-127 ...

Substrate and Vegetation Selection by Nesting Piping Plovers

The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2008
Abstract We studied substrate composition and vegetation cover at Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) nests and paired random plots on New York beaches that had been widened by renourishment (deposition of dredged sand). Most nests (59.4%, n = 32) were in unvegetated plots, mean ± SE vegetative cover around nests was 7.5 ± 1.7%, and all plovers nested ...

Mate, Site, and Territory Fidelity in Piping Plovers

The Auk, 1988
-Breeding-site fidelity, territory retention, and mate fidelity were examined in a color-banded population of monogamous Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) breeding at five focal sites in southern Manitoba from 1981 to 1986. Frequent nest destruction by predators and storms provided numerous opportunities for birds to change mates and territories ...
