"Nests, and especially chicks, are well-camouflaged," according to Oregon State Parks. "During nesting season, human disturbances can flush adult plovers away from their nests as they attempt to defend their young from the perceived predator. Left alone too long, eggs or chicks can die from exposure, predators or people." (Photo by Adam Kotaich)
