Cobirders, The International Piping Plover Census (held every 5 years) extends from June 5 to 17th, 2011. In Colorado, breeding Piping Plover are generally confined to the southeastern portion of the state. The following areas receive coverage by assigned surveyors:
John Martin Reservoir, lakes in the Great Plains system (including Neegronda and Neenoshe Reservoirs), Adobe Creek Reservoir, Carlton Gravel Operation, Verhoeff lakes, Lake Cheraw, Lake Holbrook, Lake Meredith and Lake Henry. If you encounter Piping Plover *outside the areas listed above between *June 5 and 17th, please provide sighting information to me at the Email address below. To be clear, I am *not *asking for observations from the sites in southeast Colorado listed above.
