“…62 km h −1 and 683 km per day) compared to southbound migration (40 km h −1 and 556 km per day). Our estimates of movement rates were comparable to non-stop oceanic flights on southbound migration for an Upland Sandpiper tagged in Mexico (40 km h −1 , Grosselet et al, 2019). Faster northbound migration and similar ground speeds have also been reported in Pacific Golden-Plovers Pluvialis fulva (northbound vs. southbound: 63 and 58 km h −1 ; Johnson et al, 2011), two subspecies of Bar-tailed Godwits (L.l.…”

“…One of our tagged birds (SD-GPS-90) moved through the high elevation sites near Ozogoche Lagoon in Ecuador where mass mortality events have been reported for this species (Vickery et al, 2010). Grosselet et al (2019) recently reported a similar path for an Upland Sandpiper tagged in Mexico which also crossed the Andes in northern Ecuador, and continued south along the eastern side of the Peruvian Andes until the signal was eventually lost. Three of the birds that we tracked wintered at sites in the expected non-breeding distribution in the Pampas ecoregion of Uruguay and Argentina (Blanco and López-Lanús, 2008;Alfaro et al, 2018).…”

“…Upland Sandpipers are long distance migrants that use temperate grasslands on both the breeding grounds in North America (Bowen and Kruse, 1993;Garvey et al, 2013;Sandercock et al, 2015) and non-breeding grounds in southeast South America (White, 1988;Blanco and López-Lanús, 2008;Alfaro et al, 2015Alfaro et al, , 2018. Little is known about migratory connectivity of this species because banding effort has been low and band recoveries are rare (Garber et al, 1997;Houston et al, 1999), and previous satellite tracking has provided information on southbound migration for a single bird (Grosselet et al, 2019). Based on specimen and natural history records, migratory routes are thought to include corridors through the Great Plains and Atlantic Coast, stopover sites in central America, and southern routes east of the Andes (Blanco and López-Lanús, 2008;Houston et al, 2011), as well as newly discovered sites along the Pacific coast of northern Chile (Medrano et al, 2018).…”

Our research protocols followed recommended procedures in the Guidelines to the Use of Wild Birds in Research of the Ornithological Council. We conducted our project under government permits for scientific research, including federal and state permits for live capture and tagging of wild birds, and access permits for working at facilities of the US Department of Defense and Konza Prairie Biological Station.

“…En el hemisferio occidental, las rutas de migración pasan a lo largo de las costas del Pacífico y del Atlántico, a través de Sudamérica y del Golfo de México occidental y las grandes llanuras de Norte América. Algunas especies restringen sus movimientos a un único corredor migratorio especialmente en las costas del Pacífico, mientras que otras usan dos o más de estos corredores (Grosselet et al, 2019). En Sudamérica existen varias rutas de migración consideradas importantes.…”

Bird censuses in Peru began in the early twentieth century with seabird censuses carried out by the Compañía Peruana del Guano and later by IMARPE. Between 1992 and 2016 annual censuses were carried out, in 61 wetlands, in 12 departments of Peru, recording a total of 151 species between resident and migratory. The censuses constitute a great contribution to the knowledge of waterbird species and to the synergies between institutions and ornithologists who, through volunteering, compile important information for species conservation and wetland management in the Andean slopes. The taxonomic composition of the species, the importance of censuses, the migration routes of birds from the Nearctic, southern and high Andean regions, and the protected areas in the conservation of wetlands and biodiversity are analyzed. The aim of this paper is to carry out a historical analysis of the censuses and their contribution to the knowledge of waterbirds carried out in the last three decades with special reference to the conservation of wetlands in the Andean slopes in Peru.

Studying migration is critically important for understanding the full-annual cycle of migrating birds and aids in management and conservation. In recent years, global positioning system (GPS) and platform transmitting terminal (PTT) tags have become miniaturized, revolutionizing migration research by allowing for higher location accuracy and global coverage for smaller species. We reviewed 116 primary research papers from 2006 to 2021 that reported on GPS- or PTT-tagged small birds (<500 g) during migration and assessed research aims, tag efficacy, ecological findings, and future opportunities. Reviewed papers covered 58 unique species (nearly half of which were shorebirds) and 65% of studies tagged birds at breeding grounds. Tags that did not require retrieval had higher success obtaining data, with PTT tags having the greatest success (85% of deployed tags had data). Of studies that reported tag load information, most (70%) reported tag loads ≥3% body mass, which is a potential concern given that 3% is considered the preferable upper limit. Most papers (69%) focused on presenting spatial information such as migratory routes, stopover sites, and habitat use, and only 33% of papers tested explicit hypotheses, demonstrating that we are in the early stages of understanding small bird migration at fine scales. Almost all tag deployments (93%) occurred in the northern hemisphere, most often in the United States (24%), indicating a deficiency in GPS and PTT research on small bird migration from the southern hemisphere. GPS and PTT tags have revealed new biological insights not possible with other technologies by providing fine-scale movement data and global coverage. There are exciting opportunities for researchers to move beyond descriptive spatial studies and explore hypothesis-driven migratory research, into topics such as intraspecific variation, carry-over effects, and climate-driven movements for irruptive species.
