This small valley town, bisected by the Hiki River, has been used as a stopover since the time of the first pilgrimages.
Green River was an established stopover by the time the railroad and later highways were built through the area.
Connection times at Vantaa airport – as short as 35 minutes in some instances – are just as efficient, thanks to the airport's easy-to-navigate size, making it an excellent stopover destination for time-constrained travellers heading to Asia from North America and Europe.
It wasn't a stopover, it was a time-wasting detour.

Migration rates (including time at stopovers) for the fall and the spring did not differ significantly (17 and 14 km/h, respectively; p = 0.23).
Although it remains elusive at this stage why staging times at stopover sites differ between individual nightingales, there are several non-exclusive explanations: First, the quality of stopover sites in terms of re-fuelling could differ substantially and individuals in "high-quality" sites may rapidly replenish their body reserves in preparation for the next migratory step.
Migration for most individuals, however, did not occur without time spent at stopover locations, which increased total migration time to an average of one month.

Extreme migrations often involve extreme adaptations of high fuel deposition, water conservation, and respiratory physiology, as well as behavioral adjustments in flight times, flight altitudes, stopover frequency and duration, and resting or feeding behavior.
