It is early July, and most Arctic shorebirds are on their breeding grounds
now. I have just returned from Zackenberg in northeast Greenland, and it
appeared to be a non-breeding season, which I have never experienced before.
It
looks like hardly any shorebird will breed this year along the entire east coast
of Greenland, so I would already like to ask for your help to document the
extent of the effects of this odd Arctic summer by counting the number of
juvenile and adult Sanderlings when they have returned from the Arctic.
Please send your
counts to me by e-mail: j.w.h.reneerkens@rug.nl
