“…LOS estimates are not available for southbound migrants on the Fraser estuary, but for northbound migrants, stopover times based on radio telemetry data show that the LOS of northbound adults is also short (1992: 3.6 days, s.e.m. = 0.66, n = 10 ( Iverson et al 1996); 1995/1996: 2.2 days, s.e.m. = 0.23, n = 25 (Warnock & Bishop 1998)).…”

“…During migration, these birds rest and refuel at one or more stopover sites. Little is known about the length of time that shorebirds will stay at one site (Iverson et al 1996), a parameter we refer to as stopover duration. Stopover duration has also been termed stopover, stopover length, i.e., time, period, duration of stay, length of stay, migratory pause, resting period, residency, and overlap (Kaiser 1999).…”

“…Northward passage of C. mauri through southwestern British Columbia, Canada, takes place between days 109 and 130, and peaks on day-of-the-year 120 (based on surveys in 7 years between 1992 and 2000; Butler personal communication; see also Butler et al 1987). Radio-tracking work shows that individuals travel rapidly from British Columbia to the Copper River Delta in Alaska (Iverson et al 1996), and movement to the breeding areas follows shortly afterward. Therefore, arrival at breeding sites probably peaks on day 125 or 130.…”
