Migration Mysteries Web Quest This is an activity designed to teach students about the ecology of shorebirds and how these small birds are impacted by changes in ecosystems in many countries.

Western Alaska is one of the best habits for shorebirds in the world.

We are exploring why these birds come to the delta in the summer and where they go when they leave. Join us as we learn more about why these tiny birds travel thousand of miles a year.
