The American Golden-Plover Southbound Migration Project

American Golden-Plovers make one of the longest migration journeys of any bird. Follow these birds equipped with 3.5-gram PinPoint GPS Argos tags (the world’s smallest GPS Argos tags) from Alaska's Western Arctic through Canada's Boreal Forests, across the Atlantic, and on to South America. Learn about the experts, communities, and the importance of migratory bird habitats along the way.
