Resumen:
We present blood parameters related to body condition and immune functionof three shorebird species, Red Knot Calidris canutus rufa, White-rumped SandpiperCalidris fuscicollis and Two-banded Plover Charadrius falklandicus, at a feedingsite in Peninsula Valdés, Patagonia, Argentina, during their non-breeding season.We determined concentrations of glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides, theleukocyte profile and the heterophil/lymphocyte ratio. These data constitutethe first report of these blood parameters in shorebirds at this location. Thesedata provide baseline information for ecological studies on these species in thisarea. The data could also be used in larger meta-analyses comparing bloodparameters across geographical areas, different species and over time.
