Other bird species with large numbers frequently return to the exact nesting locations each year and travel great distances to breed in Nunavut. Many arctic species, including gyrfalcons, auks, buntings, cranes, ducks, finches, geese, gulls, jaegers, larks, loons, pipits, plovers, sandpipers, terns, and others, are thought to survive thanks to the incredible physical effort of travelling from the southern hemisphere to nest in Nunavut. Plus, Nunavut is home to Inuit birds.
