Shorebirds  405

             ­ Acknowledgments

             We would like to thank the many participants in the Snowy Plover Conservation Project, headed
             by Point Blue Conservation Science (PBCS), for their tireless efforts to monitor, protect, rescue,
             raise, and rehabilitate Snowy Plovers along the California coast. PBCS researchers also banded and
             monitored released chicks, which provided valuable post‐release information. We also would like
             to thank the Monterey Bay Aquarium for their work with the rehabilitation of shorebird eggs and
             chicks which were instrumental in the development of the rehabilitation methods described in
             this chapter. A special thank you to “Snowy” (a.k.a. The Little General), a favorite Snowy Plover
             who was an ambassador for his species and a great dad to orphaned chicks.
