The snowy plovers at Big Stone NWR were NOT seen yesterday 8/5 by the shorebird workshop group, nor had they been seen that day prior to our arrival. The group, including Buri, Janssen and Chu spent about 45 minutes at the usual location. Denny and Barb Martin were still there when we left, so would have more current information. Some group members did walk all the way to the end of the spit (an activity I do not endorse) with no luck. This post is merely intended as an FYI.
