5200 |a"Peter Hicklin. a wildlife biologist with the Canadian Wildlife Service (Environment Canada) in Sackville, New Brunswick, has devoted his career to "listening to what the sandpipers have to tell me." ... He knew already that up to two million sandpipers and other shorebirds stop over in the Fundy region during July and August on their remarkable annual migration from their spring breeding grounds, far to the north on the arctic Tundra near Hudson Bay, to their overwintering grounds along the coasts of South America. ... Why ... did these huge flocks of shorebirds arrive here every summer and spend so much time far out on the mudflats running back and forth in seemingly mindless confusion? ... By carefully sieving through hundreds of samples of the "lifeless" mud he soon found that it teemed with unimaginable numbers of tiny marine creatures.particularly a shrimp-like amphipod crustacean known as Corophium volutator. ... However. the story of the sandpipers and their dependence on Corophium is only one chapter of the complex ecological epic that plays out each year, far out on the mudflats of Fundy."-- p. 1-2.
