In another coincidence I've been birding in the last few days with 2
of the USGS people who did this work  including to the oilbird cave.
One of them has helped me ID 50+ life birds.  From casual conversation,
there are plenty of gaps in knowledge about wintering shorebirds in
south america.  I guess local biologists have an more than enough to
study in their breeding species without looking to NH migrants.
Seems there is good funding for shorebird work out of the US though.

Amazing conference talk today on stable istopes to track bird ecology -
you can expect to hear about plenty of studies using this.
