Diferentes a las aves marinas y aves acuáticas, las aves playeras pueden encontrarse en cualquier lugar desde los océanos hasta las montañas. Estarán en las costas, o en pantanos y pastizales cerca de océanos, ríos o lagos. Estos migrantes poderosos viajan de ida y vuelta entre los terrenos de crías o normales en verano. ¡Algunas aves playeras viajan hacia y desde Tierra del Fuego hasta el Ártico cada año! Tienen "paradas de descanso" especiales durante sus migraciones en donde comen y descansan para el resto del viaje. Puede que caven un nido en la arena, barro o rocas de la costa. Cada ave playera tiene un pico único para encontrar alimentos específicos. Aprende en qué se parecen y diferencian estas aves fascinantes en el título más reciente de la serie de "Un libro de comparaciones y contrastes".

¿Qué harías si tu destino usual de verano desapareciera? Los animales migratorios alrededor del mundo están enfrentando este problema, ya que sus hábitats de clima cálido desaparecen. Los niveles del mar elevados complican este problema, y las islas pequeñas desaparecen. Este libro es sobre un programa de hábitat artificial impulsado entre el Maryland Coastal Bays Program (MCBP), el Wildlife and Heritage Service del Department of Natural Resources (DNR) de Maryland, y Audubon Mid-Atlantic luego de que se erosionara la isla de anidación de los charranes comunes. Se diseñó una isla flotante de 48 pies cuadrados para dar a las aves un lugar tranquilo en contra de molestias, inundaciones y depredadores. Está hecha de secciones que se ensamblaron, aseguraron y anclaron cerca de la isla antigua de los charranes en la temporada de anidación. ¿Los charranes regresarán con la isla desaparecida y la nueva isla flotante en su lugar?
