The 2001 international piping plover census in Canada / Diane L. Amirault (editor).: CW69-5/436E-PDF

"The third North America-wide census of breeding and wintering Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) was conducted between June 3 and June 16, 2001. The North America breeding population was estimated at 5945 adults (2747 pairs); a slight increase from 1996 (+14 adults). ... Data collected during the International Census is essential to evaluate progress made towards achieving population goals. To date, population recovery targets have not yet been met for the Canadian populations, but a much greater understanding of the threats to survival and recovery of this species has been achieved. Evaluating population status over the breeding distribution also permits changes in distribution and local abundance to be noted"--Abstract, p. iv.
