Priorities for Future Research
Largest need is for studies of migration and wintering ecology. Few data on foods and feeding ecology of adults, both in breeding and non-breeding seasons. The breeding ecology of local migratory populations is well known over both the short and long term. However, similar studies in other geographic regions would be of comparative benefit. Especially useful might be year-round studies of non-migratory populations in southern portions of the species’ range.
