Join Brad Winn, Director of Shorebird Habitat Management at Manomet, for an inside look at shorebird research unraveling the mystery of hemispheric travel. Brad feels very fortunate to have been able to participate in Manomet’s studies of shorebirds on their Arctic and Subarctic nesting grounds, and has been involved with 12 research expeditions to both eastern and western arctic regions. The most recent was a shorebird nesting survey of the Yukon River Delta, in Southwestern Alaska in May of this year. The Yukon Delta is about the size of Maine, and understanding shorebird use of this remote landscape is a monumental undertaking.
