Documentary: "Back to the south - The American Golden Plover and the Buff-breasted Sandpiper´s journey" (URU-USA, 2021). Dur: 32 min.
They come from the Arctic, from Alaska and Canada. For a few months they switch the polar bears and the Inuit for cows, gauchos and capybaras. Here, they share habitat with flamingos, scarlet flycatchers, saffron finches and owls. Between the lagoons and the ocean, they live a life we know little about, not exempt from dangers.
