 MIGRATION: SCIENCE AND MYSTERY (SAN FRANCISCO BAY)
>>Watch video: English | Spanish
Every spring shorebirds migrate north along the Pacific Flyway from where they winter in Panama Bay, Panama to where they breed in the Arctic slope of Alaska. For this 6500 mile journey the majority of these birds rely on five critical locations to rest and refuel: the Bay of Santa Maria in Mexico, San Francisco Bay, the Fraser River Delta in British Columbia, the Stikine and Copper River Deltas in Alaska. This year the San Francisco Bay Joint Venture hosted a live webcast with over 200,000 registered students from across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America. Visit the project coordinating website to view other webcasts and curriculum ideas for getting more involved with this magical yearly event. |
