NT. Threatened by horseshoe crab egg depletion at Delaware Bay staging sites. Key refuelling stops critical.

Moluccan Woodcock: 33–36 cm, large woodcock endemic to Obi and Bacan islands in the North Moluccas, Indonesia. VU. Occupies lowland and montane forest; nocturnal invertebrate feeder. Very poorly known; threatened by extensive deforestation for palm oil and logging. One of the least studied woodcocks. Sedentary.
