For the western snowy plover, March means nesting. This tiny shore- bird, protected under state law and under the federal Endan- gered Species Act (ESA), usu- ally begins nesting along west coast beaches in mid-March. The Oregon Parks and Rec- reation Department (OPRD) is responsible for managing recre- ation on Oregon's ocean shore, overseeing snowy plover man- agement areas and the recreation restrictions that come with the legal agreement between OPRD and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Plovers nest in dry open sand, in tiny, shallow scrapes that are very well camoufl aged. Not only are nests easy to miss (or step on), but the bird will abandon its eggs if repeatedly disturbed by activities it considers a threat. OPRD manages two kinds of beach areas to help plovers sur- vive: sites where they actively nest, and sites where they don't, but where the habitat has been designated as conducive. Based on this, recreation restrictions vary. Riding bicycles or driving any kind of vehicle is not al- lowed during nesting season on any stretch of beach managed for plovers.

Recreation is limited to the wet sand portion of the beach. Kites and dogs (leashed or unleashed) are not allowed anywhere in ac- tive nesting areas until the end of the nesting season, Sept. 15. Maps and more information can be found at bit.ly/wsplover. Most plover breeding areas in Oregon range from Flor- ence south to Bandon.

The two-mile Nehalem Spit, just south of the entrance to Nehalem Bay State Park, will restrict vehicles, dogs, and kites from March 15-Sept 15, 2016. The northern 3 miles of beach in the park are open to kites, dogs, bikes, horses, and all other rec- reation. OPRD spokesperson Chris Havel thanked visitors for their understanding and support of the bird. "Recreation manage- ment is a balancing act," said Havel. "The vast majority of visitors want to protect wild- life and understand that plovers need our help to survive."
