Shorebirds cross thousands of miles each year from the barren tundra of the arctic to the wind swept beaches of Tierra del Fuego in the southern hemisphere. The majority of shorebirds breeding in Alaska and Canada spend their non-breeding period in South American or Caribbean countries. During migration, shorebirds face a multitude of challenges including:<ul><li>finding sufficient food sources to fuel their long distant migrations; </li><li>avoiding predators; </li><li>competing for limited habitat; </li><li>adapting to a changing climate; and</li><li>succumbing to sport and subsistence hunting.</li></ul></div></div> Conserving Shorebirds in the Atlantic Flyway.
