One of CAnMoves principal investigators, Åke Lindström, has recently (together with six other scientists) published an interesting article in the international journal “The Condor”. In the article they discuss the fact that juvenile sharp-tailed sandpipers choose a large detour during their migration. They fly from northeastern Siberia to Australia via Alaska! This is probably due to the large delta areas in western Alaska where the sharp-tailed sandpipers can eat a lot to become really fat and well prepared for the long journey to their nonbreeding area in Australia. You can read more about their fascinating migratory route here.
