How does a Sanderling that weighs on average of 2 ounces fly 3,000 miles from Alaska to the Hawaiian
Islands? How does a Bar-tailed Godwit fly from the Yukon Delta in Alaska to New Zealand in eight
days? In an effort to understand their remarkable journeys we need to look beyond North American
borders and see where shorebirds spend most of their lives. Thus, we will explore the trans-ocean
migration of these and other shorebird species that cross the majority of the Pacific Ocean. We’ll look at
where they migrate, why they migrate, and how they are able to travel so far. We'll also consider
potential global conservation and climate change solutions that these global migrants require.
