 Flocks of sea birds perched on a cliff. |
 Huge flocks of migrating birds are seen by radar. |
 Like rivers on the wing, birds from around the world flow onto the refuges coastal plain each summer. Visitors include tundra swans, and as many as 325,000 lesser snow geese (Chen caerulescens) (pictured here) that migrate to the area to fatten on tundra vegetation. While staging for the long journey south, the geese are so skittish that a disturbance two miles away will flush them. Airplanes routinely traveling to and from oil outposts could reduce the flocks feeding time, weight gain, and migration survival rates. Similar fears are voiced about the polar bears, musk oxen, and other mammals that inhabit the area during vital stages in their life cycles. Conservationists are trying to protect this wilderness area from o il companies currently pressuring Congress to open the refuge for oil exploitation. |
