Oregon Preparing for Plover Season
Oregon BLM Preparing for Plover Season
Snowy Plover nesting grounds along the Ore. coast will be off limits NORTH BEND, Ore. - After a tough year for the Snowy Plover in 2008, the Bureau of Land Management is reminding beachgoers to be mindful of their nesting grounds.The Snowy Plover nesting season begins Sunday, March 15 and runs through September.The BLM has restricted access to some areas of certain beaches to help protect plover nests, eggs and chicks."They nest right in the open, dry sand. So we want to do our best to keep people away from those areas so the adult plovers don't get scared off and the young eggs and chicks don't get crushed accidentally," said BLM Public Affairs Specialist Megan Harper.Last year, only 71 plovers survived, down from 120 in 2007.But BLM officials are optimistic about the nesting for the small shore bird, which was listed on the endangered species list in 1993, and it starts with keeping areas restricted to foot traffic."There will be signs and ropes in place," said Harper. "Nesting areas are just south of Bandon all the way up to the Florence area. People will have access to the wet sand portions of the beach but some of the dry sand will be closed."Dry sand closures will be in effect for habitat sites at Siltcoos Estuary, Bandon Beach natural area, Tahkenitch Estuary, Oregon Dunes Day Use, New River area beaches and the Tenmile Estuary. For more information you can call BLM at (541) 756-0100.
