  1. We received the following contribution from Pete Davidson:

    Lesser Yellowlegs and Hudsonian Godwit look solid too. Just one wee typo to correct: note the acronym is COSEWIC (not COSIEWIC, as appears in both the Lesser Yellowlegs and Hudsonian Godwit accounts).

  2. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. We greatly appreciate the time and effort invested in commenting. The window for consultation is now closed and we are unable to accept any more comments until 3 May 2024. We will now analyse and interpret all information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’ Red List status on this page on 3 May 2024, when discussions will re-open.

  3. Preliminary proposal

    Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2024 Red List would be to adopt the proposed classifications outlined in the initial forum discussion.

    There is now a period for further comments until the final deadline on 13 May 2024, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.

    The final 2024 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in October 2024, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.

  4. One of the most abundant species of the genus in the Pantanal. Especially in salt marshes, bay edges and wet meadows. The biggest threats to the wintering sites of this species in the Pantanal are climate change, as well as changes in the Pantanal’s hydrological regime due to the construction of the waterway on the Paraguay River
