The Hudsonian Godwit was once thought to be very rare—even endangered. In reality, this big sandpiper was probably just overlooked on its long migration journey between the Arctic and southern South America. But now, they truly are facing perilously low populations and steep declines, putting their epic migrations increasingly at risk.
