Episode overview

Shorebirds fly thousands of miles each year along ancient and largely unknown migratory routes called Flyways.

But their populations are crashing. Follow a conservation movement of bird-loving experts and citizen scientists as they mobilize to the challenge of understanding and saving shorebirds.
