Tringa flavipes (MGT):breeds from May to August from Alaska to southern central Canada as far as James Bay in Canada. It flies through eastern Canada, inland USA and the Atlantic coast, going over Mexico, Antilles and Bahamas to South America, reaching as far as Tierra del Fuego (van Gils et al., 2016b). In Brazil, the species occurs in the entire national territory and there are records for AM from July to February (Stotz et al., 1992), for the Pantanal during the migration south (Morrison et al., 2008) and for RS in all months, especially between September and March (Belton, 1984). Despite being found throughout the year in Brazil (WikiAves, 2016; MZUSP, MNRJ, MPEG), records during winter in June and July are probably of juveniles, since some one-year-old shorebirds mostly stay on wintering grounds through the first summer (Cristol et al., 1999).
