The San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory (SFBBO), Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (HARD), and East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) form the Western Snowy Plover (Charadri
From 2008 to 2014, SFBBO conducted a pilot study investigating the effects of oyster shell habitat enhancement on Snowy Plover nesting success. One hectare test plots were distributed on salt pond bottoms in Eden Landing Ecological Reserve (Eden Landing), Hayward, California.
The Pacific Coast population of the Western Snowy Plover (Charadrius nivosus nivosus, Snowy Plover) breeds along or near tidal waters and is behaviorally distinct from the interior population (Funk 2007).
Estuaries are among the most dynamic, complex, and biologically productive ecosystems in the world (Alongi 1998, Good 1999). Yet, they are also extremely vulnerable to human disturbance (Kennish 2002, Lotze et al. 2006).
This report serves as a data summary and preliminary, coarse-scale assessment of waterbird and water quality monitoring efforts at Coyote Hills, Dumbarton, and Mowry salt pond complexes in the South San Francisco Bay.
This study assessed how waterfowl at new and existing trail sites in the South San Francisco Bay respond to trail use. One primary research approach we employed was to compare the number of birds before experimental trail walks to the number after at each pond site.
In order to determine where the displaced California Gulls would nest in 2011 and to prevent them from nesting in ecologically sensitive areas, the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory (SFBBO) and the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) conducted intensive surveys and se
