Graduate student Philipp Maleko captured and banded endangered Nordmann's Greenshanks in far-eastern Russia.

The Nordmann's Greenshank is a critically endangered shorebird that breeds in far eastern Russia and migrates through and overwinters in east and southeast Asia. Little is known about this critically endangered species. We will work with Russian collaborators and the Wildlife Conservation Society to find and describe breeding areas and capture and mark birds. Resightings of marked birds can assist in determining migratory pathways and overwintering areas in the East Asian - Australasian Flyway.
