Waders - the long distance migratory birds (Birds in Flight)

Most waders are long distance migratory birds. Even if they stayed on throughout summer in their non-breeding / wintering grounds, most of them will still one day fly back to their breeding grounds when their plumage, body weight, hormonal amount etc are in perfect balance.
