A statement from the SPDP education coordinator:
"Every year, COPR collects the abandoned Snowy Plover eggs off of Sand's Beach. We raise the eggs in an incubator. When the eggs hatch, we raise the chicks in a nursery at Coal Oil Point Reserve.
After five weeks of taking care of the chicks, you get to watch them be released back onto Sand's Beach. Last week, we released two healthy and happy chicks that wouldn't have had a chance to live had we not raised them in the nursery."
