Snowy Plovers are tiny, sand-colored shorebirds. They are having trouble surviving, because they nest on beaches, where people accidentally step on them, and dogs chase them.

If you spot a bird with colored plastic leg bands, you’ll know that it is being studied so we can protect it from extinction. The color and position of each of the leg bands on this Snowy Plover help us keep track of where it lives and migrates. The bands don’t weigh very much at all, and the bird can fly just as well.
