Now this is way too cool!!!
I subscribe to the Shorebirds listserve and an email came today about a project in Alaska involving the U.S. Geological Survey's Alaska Science Center, the Point Reyes Bird Observatory, and other collaborators where they are satellite tracking the migration of Bristle-thighed Curlews, Bar-tailed Godwits, and Long-billed Curlews. Complete with maps (link to Bristle-thighed Curlew) showing the bird's locations! This is simply great stuff!
(And a bonus for me because tonight is a Wings on the Wind Ranger Talk and I have some awesome new maps to add to my sections on the Bristle-thigheds and Bar-taileds - two species whose migrations are totally amazing and have been a part of the presentation from the beginning. Time for some last minute updates to the talk . . .)
