The Migration of Dunlin Calidris alpina through Northern Scandinavia

Abstract
Observations made on the Varangerfjord, northeastern Norway, during 1974 indicate that there is a large dunlin passage through the area. Ringing recoveries suggest that juveniles which passed through the area during Aug. moved down the west coast of Norway, while adults moving through during July, took a more easterly route, moving overland to the Gulf of Bothnia and into the Baltic.
