16 January 2025.
Nine of our 2024 Nova Scotia birds continue to check in and remain stationary, with one exception: NS-2024-35, a (now) second year male, decided to quit southern Virginia, and moved about 100km south to an area east of Raleigh, North Carolina. NS-2024-24 continues to make small movements on the southwest coast of Nova Scotia.
Additionally, LA-2024-49, a now third year male we tagged in eastern Louisiana on January 9, 2024 and that bred in Manitoba last spring, returned to central Louisiana and remains stationary (and presumably alive) as of yesterday! We are very fortunate to receive locations from 3 seasons of this bird’s life, which will make significant contributions to site fidelity and connectivity analyses in the near future.
Check out our mapping tool below to track the journey of our fall 2024 tagged birds, and check-ins from some of our January 2024 Louisiana birds!
