Western Snowy Plovers are endangered, migratory and threatened small shorebirds.
The snowy plover parents take turns incubating the eggs. The parents don’t directly feed their babies after they hatch. A few hours after hatching, the chicks can follow their father to forage. The mother will leave to find a new mate and start another brood.
