A Journey with Shorebirds

As a child, Ian Davies became enthralled with birds he found in his hometown of Plymouth, Massachusetts on Long Beach and in other coastal areas - shorebirds! These birds stop over on beaches and mudflats while in migration to find food to fuel their long journeys to and from their northern breeding grounds.  Three years ago, Ian began traveling to the Arctic to study these same birds during the nesting season. Demure creatures on their wintering grounds, these birds transform into wild exhibitionists as they try to attract mates for the short and intense nesting season. 

In this video of a live presentation done before a studio audience at Plymouth Area Community Television, Ian shares stunning photographs and fascinating stories about these birds and what we can do to conserve them.
