The Wilson's Plover nearly stopped the dredging of Stump Pass last year.  It actually moved the alignment when a pair of nesting Wilson's Plovers were found on what they call the Spit.  The county is now monitoring the area around the spit.  Last year we had 4 pair of Wilson's and 2 pair of Snowy Plover's nest there and a colony of about 120 Least Terns
