Figure 1. Breeding distribution and major North American staging sites of the Hudsonian Godwit.

Marked breeding range encompasses sites at which breeding has been confirmed or is considered very probable based on the presence of displaying birds during summer. Presumably many breeding areas remain unknown. This species winters in South America. See Distribution for details.
