The coastal area of the Florida Panhandle, United States. Black denotes the area where we studied Snowy Plover site occupancy during the 2009 and 2010 breeding seasons (January–July). The study area was divided into 200-m sites running perpendicular to the shore line. We used a stratified-random approach to select 303 non-neighboring sites where we collected information on plover presence, human activity, and beach characteristics.
