Number and fate of Snowy Plover nests initiated across years, laying season and spring tide cycle. Each bar represents one day, the color of the bar indicates fate of the nest (red – flooded by tides, N = 43; grey – not flooded including nests with unknown fate, N = 709). The undulating blue line represents the predicted highest daily tide and each hump indicates one spring tide cycle. The vertical orange line marks the median of the nest initiation date for each year. The black dots at the bottom-right mark the years when flooding was the primary cause of nest failure
