The western snowy plover (Anarhynchus nivosus nivosus) is a small wader in the plover bird family. It breeds in the southern and western United States and in Mexico, while its non-breeding range extends to the Gulf Coast and south to Guatemala.[1]
Effective April 5, 1993, the Pacific coast population of the western snowy plover is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.[2][3] From July 19, 2012, habitat along the California, Oregon, and Washington coasts is listed as critical for the survival of the Pacific distinct population segment.[2][4]
