Snowy Plovers on Siesta

A small population (60?) of snowy plovers
is nesting on Siesta Key Beach.

Beach access #7 is closed off to avoid disturbing the birds.
Birders can park at Access #8 to view the roped off nesting areas.
Nests in the hilly, vegetation are almost impossible to see.
The plovers are very small and blend in with the beach.
We spotted 4 plovers and no nests on our visit.
