Prior to this specimen, the elevational range for this species had been 2,000-3,156 m, predominantly in the Canadian and Hudsonian life zones (Grinnell and Storer, 1924; Ingles, 1947; Williams, 1984; Hutterer, 2005).

Guy Morrison, a biologist at Canada's National Wildlife Research Centre in Hull, Quebec, hopes to "crack the abiding mystery" of where and why Hudsonian godwits pause on their fall flight from breeding areas around James Bay to wintering places along the coast of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego.

In a survey of nine species, population-specific RAPD markers were found in Dunlin (Calidris alpina), Hudsonian Godwit (Limosa haemastica), and Semipalmated Sandpipers (C.
