Subject: Swainson's Warbler migration
Hi all - A few years ago, we collaborated on a project to better understand the migration of Swainson's Warblers. The AAST funded part of this research and it has just recently been accepted for publication! More broadly, this work also was the first to use a new method to track small birds using a barometer to measure pressure changes in the atmosphere. As a result, we now can track small birds with extraordinary detail, not just on the ground, but in flight as well!
Here is a visualization of one of our birds that we caught (and recaught) in the Mark Twain National Forest, just across the border in SE Missouri. Be sure to click on Bird's-eye View too!
