Raptor Predation on Wintering Shorebirds

Summary

Although high mortality rates have been reported on demand mud flats form the major feeding habitat for onstrated for shorebirds by the analysis of large numbers of shorebirds that winter on the estuary, there is little information on the causes of shorebird mortality.
