Five oiled Snowy Plovers were recovered from the Orange County spill area. This federally threatened species is protected to promote population recovery. All five Plovers are stabilized and currently receiving rehabilitative care at an OWCN primary care facility. They will be returned to the wild in a clean and safe environment where they were initially recovered once they have met approved criteria for release as established by the OWCN.
