  • The abundant wetlands in America's Arctic, especially those concentrated around Teshekpuk Lake, are among the most extensive and productive for birdlife in the entire Arctic. Birds fan out across this landscape to nest in astonishing numbers, with some of the highest known densities of breeding shorebirds anywhere on earth. The Teshekpuk Wetlands provide vast tracts of undisturbed habitat and an abundance of food. Summer produces an explosion of insect life and plant growth, and 24 hours of daylight provides the opportunity to feed around the clock. The abundant resources fuel a short but rapid reproductive season, drawing millions of birds from around the world year after year.

    This is profoundly beautiful to me, indescribably so, only that I am filled with love and wonderment and inspiration and hope we will wake up in time to prevent such places and their minions from being swallowed by our reckless endless civilizational growth. My tears right now are of both joy and sadness.

    Narrator sounds exactly like the voice for wingspan. Adds even more charm to this documentary.

    Wonderful video. I've never been to the arctic, but I'm lucky enough to have seen some of these species when they winter here.

    I wasn't expecting to cry while watching this, but cry I did indeed. I don't cry readily, for what it's worth, but nature has a special power over me. As the credits rolled, I thought, "What a beautiful world we've defiled." I showed this documentary to my wife, expecting that I wouldn't cry again, but I did. Thanks for this little film. It really touched me.

    When you see this then see how much oil and gas infrastructure devastates these habitats, it's soul wrenching.

    It's so dangerous and frightening in the nature alone, for a wader who is so vulnerable. It's so hauntingly beautiful to see how a sandpiper with no partner has to go through wonderful hardships.
    I have no words to describe the feelings. It's amazing to see the footage and narration. Thank you for sharing, a lot. ❤🙏🏼💐

    Absolutely uplifting and profoundly beautiful! Thank you for sharing your collective insights and making us all aware of these precious, unique ecosystems that connect our whole globe! Seeing the migration patterns of these birds says something very powerful about what being a citizen of Earth means, and what wholeness means to our planet and to us as human beings! Our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health are deeply connected to the health and well-being of all the other species with whom we share this beautiful planet!

    April 19, 2024: 🚨BIG NEWS for the Arctic!🚨 Today, the Biden administration released a final conservation rule that will help protect 13 million acres of America’s Arctic from oil and gas development. This announcement will provide stronger protections for lands within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska in the Western Arctic and is a critical step towards recognizing the importance of Alaska’s public lands and waters for protecting communities, biodiversity, and the future of our global climate.

    Had a chance to listen to Michael Mauro, one of the cinematographers, yesterday. Fascinating behind the scenes look at how this was filmed and how he approaches shooting video and images of wildlife. Several excellent points on technique and methods. And how to deal with mosquitoes. Never thought about mosquitoes in the Arctic. Came away with a real interest in learning more about the Greater White-Fronted Goose since they migrate back to Texas coastal marshes. Michael Mauro is with Truth and Legends Productions here on CZcams @truthlegend. Also sat in on Lee Hoy's session. Lee was interviewed by Michael for one of his podcasts. A terrific day to learn from two of the best wildlife photographers/videographers.👍👍👍
