2013 Final Report on the Western Snowy Plovers
, 2014 In 2013 we continued with the monitoring of the WSP population at Coal Oil Point Reserve as in previous years. We had predator control during most of the breeding season and the loss of nests from mammalian predators was low. However, chick predation from unknown predators was high. Nesting on the mud flats was also the highest on record.

2015 Final Report on the Western Snowy Plovers
, 2017 In 2015, we continued with the monitoring of the WSP population at Coal Oil Point Reserve as in previous years. This year's chick fledge count was higher than average. Nest predation by skunks was a problem until predator control was initiated in early May. The rate of infertile eggs was higher than average.

2005 Final Report on the Western Snowy Plovers
, 2006 In 2005 we continued with the management of the WSP population at Coal Oil Point Reserve as in previous year. I addition, we started a predator management program and raised chicks from destroyed or abandoned nests. 30 chicks were fledged by their fathers and another 17 were fledged in our hand-raising nursery.
