Our last two snowy plover nests on the Great Beach have hatched and both broods have been spotted in the past week: one halfway between Abbotts Lagoon and North Beach, and the other near the Lagoon mouth. There are at least two additional broods still running around as well: one near the mouth of Abbotts Lagoon and one on Limantour Spit. That makes four remaining broods of about six to ten chicks. Visit go.nps.gov/171ye0 for the most recent Snowy Plover update at Point Reyes.
