The State of Migratory Landbirds in the East Asian Flyway: Distributions, Threats, and Conservation Needs

“…Analyses of the arrival and departure times of landbirds at key stopover sites have shown that migration distance and the relative locations of the breeding and wintering grounds determine the migratory phenology of Emberiza and Phylloscopus species and Siberian rubythroat Calliope calliope in the Russian Far East (Nam et al, 2011;Maslovsky et al, 2014Maslovsky et al, , 2018Heim, 2015, 2016;Bozó et al, 2017Bozó et al, , 2019Heim et al, 2018a;Park et al, 2020;Wobker et al, 2021). Long-distance migrants generally arrive at stopover sites later in spring, while departing earlier in Ueta et al (1998Ueta et al ( , 2000, Higuchi et al (2005), Shiu et al (2006), Kim et al (2007), Kudo (2008), McIntyre et al (2009), Dixon et al (2011Dixon et al ( , 2012, Kessler et al (2013), Takagi et al (2014), Koike et al (2016), Yamaura et al (2017), Yamaguchi et al (2017), Heim et al (2018aHeim et al ( , 2020, Choi et al (2019), and Uemura et al (2020).

Movements of the Goshawk in Estonia: an analysis of ring recoveries

“…In North America, most adult birds stay in territories while others migrate south and periodic or aperiodic invasions have been recorded (Mueller et al 1977, Squires & Kennedy 2006. The migration of adult birds has also been noted in Asia (Kudo 2008). In central, western and southern Europe neither adults nor juveniles migrate; instead, shortdistance movement or wandering occurs during the non-breeding season (Rutz et al 2006).…”
