 Tourists flying in for summer season In summer, thousands of migratory birds come to the Arctic to feed and raise their young. Here's the season's guestlist... check the reservations! - The murres are coming up from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America! - Greater Snow Geese are travelling the Atlantic flyway from their winter vacation spots on the American east coast. - Albatrosses are gliding in from some of the Pacific Islands. - The Arctic Terns are coming all the way from Antarctica - almost half way around the world! - And watch out! The word on the street is that a gang of hitmen are coming up from Central America to make trouble. It must be those rambunctious raptors, the peregrine falcons!
