Four UK shorebirds - the grey plover, dunlin, turnstone and curlew sandpiper - are becoming more endangered on the red list.

You’ll see egrets and herons in the tidal wetlands of the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge and perhaps even snowy plovers nestling in the dunes or pecking for insects in the wet sand.

Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service, monitor the effect of the blasts on such animals as sea otters, bats, western snowy plovers, California least terns and California red-legged frogs.

Visitors to the beach are likely to spot elephant seals, black-tailed coastal deer and certainly the Western snowy plover, a small shorebird that was recognized as a threatened species in 1993 by the U.S.

An injured snowy plover that was captured did not have oil on it but also died.
