Popis:	In June 2000, an oiled Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus melodus), part of the endangered eastern Canadian population, was caught and banded, and a second oiled individual was observed at Flat Bay (48°26’N; 58°32’W) in southwestern Newfoundland. These are the first documented cases of oiled Piping Plover in Canada. The banded plover was subsequently recaptured in July 2001, and appeared healthy. Evidence of another individual surviving exposure to oil was documented in 2005 in Nova Scotia. This suggests that Piping Plovers are vulnerable to oil pollution but may have some capacity to survive minimal oiling.
