They should move them all to one place and lock it down tight.
Maybe they would return to that same place every year.
I think that the Plover has been given more than a fair chance to increase in numbers.
If they weren't made such a big deal of nobody would even give them a seconds thought.
I think they would do just fine with a few signs on the beach that say watch out for Plovers.
Things now are beyond extreme and slightly rediculous.
I can't believe they made such a big deal out of one dead chick.

imho , what will happen the squished bird will wind up as the martyr for the audobon cause ;to shut the beaches down completely ..that is what happened at hatteras . the only bird that was ever run over was run over by the park service !! but the pic is plastered all over as just a dead chic in tire tracks !!
the truth doesn't matter to those folks

whether you would actually do something to ones of these birds or not is one thing but to openly post about squishing them gives onlookers a preconceived notion that fishermen are plover haters/killers.....

Perhaps if we were all a bit more responsible with our words we wouldnt get quite the bad rap we do!

Simplify.......
