Marking programs for migratory species have been developed since the 1980 decade, among them the PASP Pan-American Shorebirds Programs which consisted in the marking of nearctic migratory birds with color bands and flags, enabling the development of individual codes, allowing the observation of the marked birds without the need of capture.
The high percentual of recuperations of Calidris alba, as well as the recuperations of marked individuals in the Lagoa do Peixe and in some wintering areas in the United States, demonstrated the use of the Atlantic route and reinforce the idea that flocks provenient from the East coast of Alaska migrate on this route.
The maximum age estimated for Calidris alba during this study was of 11 years, nothing is known about the age of this species in specific bibliography of studies of the Scolopacidae.
