Description: Not to be confused with seabirds or waterbirds, shorebirds can be found anywhere from the ocean to the mountains. They’ll be on the shores of, or in marshes and grasslands near, the ocean, rivers, or lakes. These mighty migrators travel back and forth between summer breeding grounds and non-breeding grounds. Some shorebirds travel to and from Tierra del Fuego to the Arctic each year! They have special “rest stops” during their migration where they eat and rest for the remainder of their trip. They may dig a nest into the shore’s sand, mud, or rocks. Each shorebird has a unique bill to find its specific food. Learn how these fascinating birds are alike and different in this latest title in the Compare and Contrast series.
