A Year in the Life of a Lesser Yellowlegs: Identifying the Threats to a Declining Shorebird
Presented by Laura McDuffie, Q&A with Jim Johnson, Anthony Levesque and Alex Sansom
Lesser Yellowlegs are in trouble, showing alarming populations declines. Laura McDuffie shares her work which aims to identify environmental and human threats to this elegant migratory shorebird. By tracking birds with GPS tags, she followed 100s of individual birds on their amazing migratory journeys! Keep watching to find out which Caribbean island one bird took a month-long rest and see who made it back to breed in Spring.
This webinar was given as part of our Caribbean celebration of World Migratory Bird Day celebrations (WMBD) October, 2021, co-hosted with Environment for the Americas. You can find out more here: [ Ссылка ]
