Snowy Plover Nests

Snowy plover nest site locations collected from a 2002-2006 FWC snowy plover status and distribution study. The FWC initiated its snowy plover survey project to (1) reassess the population size and distribution of snowy plovers breeding in Florida, (2) assess the population size and distribution of snowy plovers wintering in Florida, (3) assess productivity of snowy plovers nesting on Florida beaches, and (4) conduct a review of the literature on the Cuban snowy plover.本数据集收录的雪鸻（Snowy plover）巢址点位，采集自2002年至2006年间由FWC开展的雪鸻种群现状与分布调查研究。FWC发起本次雪鸻调查项目的目标包括：(1) 重新评估佛罗里达州境内繁殖雪鸻的种群规模与分布范围；(2) 评估佛罗里达州境内越冬雪鸻的种群规模与分布范围；(3) 评估在佛罗里达海滩筑巢的雪鸻的繁殖生产力；(4) 综述古巴雪鸻相关的研究文献。
