Description
- Activities
- Specifically, we will place satellite tracking devices that provide GPS-quality location information on six species of medium-sized shorebirds about which we have relatively limited information on their migratory patterns these species comprise three pairs - short- (limnodromus griseus) and long-billed (l. Scolopaceus) dowitchers, american (pluvialis dominica) and pacific (p. Fulva) golden-plovers, and lesser (tringa flavipes) and greater (t. Melanoleuca) yellowlegs - of which one species uses the pacific flyway and the other the mid-continental flyway during fall migration. Expected deliverables or outcomes: each species will be tracked from at least two separate breeding sites that overlap with the department of defense-s long-range radar sites distributed across alaska. By both tracking species that use different flyways, as well as different populations of the same species that breed in different parts of alaska, we will be able to address three pressing questions currently constraining on-the-ground shorebird conservation efforts: 1) how do the structures of stopover sites differ among populations and species, especially those using different migratory flyways 2) do different populations and species use different cues to time their fall migrations and, as a result, 3) do migratory strategies differ among populations and species beneficiaries: USFWS migratory bird program, department of defense, US departments of fish and game
