Migration displays showcase the American Golden Plover story
Four new museum cases at the Regina Museum of Natural History explore bird migration. The American Golden Plover travels 16 000 miles annually across two continents guided by complex flyways and internal navigation. The exhibits cover routes from Argentina to North America, non stop Atlantic crossings, and the roles of sanctuaries like Wascana in conservation. Also shown are fall scenes at Flying Creek Coulee and the Whooping Crane recovery from near extinction to 42 individuals, with nesting and wintering sites named.
