Reservoir tweaks aid pectoral sandpipers migration in Iowa
Iowa State University researchers, with the Army Corps of Engineers, lowered Lake Red Rock water levels by about a foot and a half to expose mudflats, enabling pectoral sandpipers to feed and potentially fly non stop to northern South America. GPS tracking across 2023 and 2024 showed direct migrations to Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, and the Dominican Republic, with some birds stopping in Haiti en route.
