Показать описание
Researchers recently discovered why the world’s entire population of migrating Western sandpipers briefly stops in the Salish Sea each spring. These funny little shorebirds have evolved to slurp up a special slimy superfood produced at the exact moment they need it. In this EMMY™-nominated episode, SeaDoc waded through the malodorous muck at Roberts Bank, British Columbia, to capture groundbreaking video footage and learn why a major new port expansion is a bad idea for the future of these loveable little birds.

Wonderfully informative and entertaining video but yikes, quite depressing at the end with the bombshell that development is going to drop the bottom out of this food chain and ultimately hasten our demise...sigh.
