This document summarizes a coastal bird stewardship program in Alabama that monitored and protected beach-nesting birds like least terns and snowy plovers. Volunteers surveyed four sites and installed protective fencing around key nesting areas. They observed 110 least tern pairs but high coyote predation led to a 61% nest failure rate. Snowy plover monitoring saw 3 pairs fledge 1 chick each. Abundance surveys found 42 bird species and human disturbance was the primary threat. Outreach engaged over 500 people to increase awareness of conservation efforts for these declining coastal species. Multi-agency collaboration was effective but program expansion is still needed.
