EWMRC:
Eastern Woodcock Migration Research Cooperative
The Ruffed Grouse Society and American Woodcock Society, through the generosity of its members and donors have been proudly supporting the most cutting edge woodcock migration research via the Eastern Woodcock Migration Research Cooperative (EWMRC).
RGS | AWS have conducted specific woodcock migration fundraising campaigns to direct donations and contributions to the EWMRC to purchase GPS transmitters for migrating woodcock, and have assisted partner agencies with completing timely purchase of transmitters and by allowing financial contributions to count as match for federal research funding.
“The Eastern Woodcock Migration Research Cooperative is an international collaborative interested in understanding migratory ecology for the American Woodcock. The project is coordinated by the University of Maine, and involves partners from throughout the United States and Canada.
Woodcock have declined throughout eastern North America and we seek to understand how the conditions they experience during migration may influence these declines. By working with a broad set of partners, we use GPS and satellite technology to track woodcock as they migrate between their northern breeding areas and southern wintering grounds.
