American Golden-Plover.
The Golden Standard of Shorebird Migration
Summer may be scorching, but that won’t stop early fall migrants like the American Golden-Plover (Chorlo Dorado Americano en español)! Over the period from late July through November, from the Boreal Forest alone, three to five billion birds like the American Golden-Plover pass over the Canada-U.S. border. 

Hitting the beach sometime soon? You might catch these rarities! During fall migration, American Golden-Plovers are seen mostly along the Atlantic Coast, especially after storms with northeast winds, as they make their multi-day, non-stop flight from Canada to South America.

The American Golden-Plover makes one of the longest migratory journeys of any shorebird. But as impressive as their journeys are, covering all that distance leaves them vulnerable to a wide range of ecosystem impacts, many of which can be traced back to climate change. 

In a matter of weeks, shorebird migration will be in full swing across the United States, providing a dazzling array of identification challenges for bird-lovers across the country. Catch the American Golden-Plover and other shorebirds as they embark on their fall migration journeys with the Bird Migration Explorer
