Remember after the first season living on Oahu and seeing this one little sandpiper on our lawn each year. Someone told me they migrated, and though “no way that little guy crosses the ocean”

But every year, he or another would show up............

And they are taking the over ocean direct shortcut from Alaska/Siberia!
Some continue on to Fiji and New Zealand.

Many more take the overland Russia- China- Malaysia route to Australia and New Zealand.

I had to look it up and enjoyed reading about their migration.

Thanks
