Rare Sandpipers Found in Myanmar

source: National Geographic | Feb 15, 08 | submitted by Pat Coate

Coast of Myanmar - Eighty-four spoon-billed sandpipers have been discovered in a coastal stretch of Myanmar (Burma), offering hope for the endangered birds, a conservation group said Thursday.

The discovery of 84 birds wintering in Myanmar -- only one of which appears to have come from Siberia -- raises the prospect of breeding grounds elsewhere, BirdLife said.
