U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Tracking Data for Lesser Yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes) Active
Available here are tracking data of Lesser Yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes). These data were collected to inform the spatiotemporal migratory patterns of Lesser Yellowlegs between subarctic breeding areas in Alaska and Canada and wintering areas in South America, the Caribbean, Central America, and the contiguous United States.
Return to Ecosystems >> Wildlife Tracking Data Collection
USGS Alaska Science Center scientists collect data from wildlife tracking devices to: determine locations of animals throughout their annual cycles, understand patterns of habitat use, quantify time spent on various behaviors, and identify geographic areas repeatedly used by wildlife that may indicate sites of importance to species and populations. Tracking data from other wildlife species can be found at: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9VYSWEH
Tracking Maps
Lesser Yellowlegs Tracking Maps
These webpages contain five different types of browse maps and other visualizations of the tracking data.
- Shorebirds Tagged Animal Movement Explorer interactive visualization tool
- Note: These maps serve only as a depiction of the geographic content of the specific data provided and may be inappropriate for inferences and interpretation outside the intent of the original study. For example, maps may portray only certain ages, sexes, limited numbers of animals or variable tracking duration and start times that may limit inference for other questions. Users are advised to read the publication(s) and data set metadata associated with these maps to understand appropriate use and data limitations.
Data Packages
Argos GPS Satellite Telemetry Data
These data packages contain the data collected from GPS satellite transmitters attached to free-ranging animals. The package includes processed location data. The processed data include location data estimated by GPS and the Argos System (Doppler). They have been filtered for location plausibility.
