The Arctic Tern is not the only bird that spends its breeding season in the Arctic. Billions of birds belonging to nearly 200 speciesfrom small sparrows such as the Smith's Longspur to large waterfowl such as the Greater White-fronted Goosemake their way to the far north every spring to reproduce and then make the return flight south for the winter.

The spectacle of spring bird migration is in full swing, as hundreds of millions of birds take to the skies to claim territory and attract mates.
