<span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#333333">Highly migratory shorebird species are often best seen along Cape Cod’s coastline during August. The weather has barely cooled and yet further north, the autumn’s first avian migrants are already beating their wings
toward the long southward journey that lies ahead. For some, this means departing their Arctic breeding grounds with no less than a 3,000 mile destination in mind --- Tierra del Fuego on the southern extremity of South America.

<span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#333333">Learn about the lives of these birds from master ornithologist John Kricher as he delves into their migratory habits and ecological significance. Field lessons will take visitors from locales on the Long Pasture
Wildlife Sanctuary to Barnstable Great Marsh and the dunes of Sandy Neck Barrier Beach, a state designated Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC).
