Migratory birds complete the stages of the annual cycle (i.e., winter, migration, breeding, molt) in areas thousands of kilometers apart and events in one location can influence subsequent events. Understanding these “carry-over effects” is fundamental to identifying seasonal variation in mortality and limits on breeding output, both of which are important components of effective conservation and management strategies. Researchers are beginning to grasp the impact of carry-over effects from winter to breeding events, however less progress has occurred in understanding carry-over effects across the rest of the annual cycle. For example, studies on carry-over effects from breeding to molt or winter are infrequent. Additionally, we still lack an understanding of how winter to breeding carry-over effects experienced by adults impact the post-fledging period, one of the most limiting times for juvenal survival and recruitment. Studying carry-over effects in migratory birds presents an enormous challenge, as many complete their annual cycles in disparate places and can be difficult to track from one season to the next, especially small (
