Conservation Specialist Brad Winn shares his experiences after he and his team get a wintry start in the Arctic. Relentless winds created challenges for both the researchers and the birds. The first sunny days, however, brought a welcomed relief as well as shorebird and nest sightings. Brad expresses the team’s joy at the improving conditions with Emily Dickson's poem, "Hope is a Thing with Feathers," and reflects on the team’s Arctic encounters.
