Satellite and GPS tracking technology continues to reveal new migration patterns of birds which enables comparative studies of migration strategies and distributional information useful in conservation. Bar-tailed godwitsin the East Asian–Australasian Flyway Limosa lapponica baueri and L. l. menzbieri are known for their long non-stop flights, howeverthese populations are in steep decline.

However, the non-breeding distribution, migration route and population size of anadyrensis are entirely unknown.
