Fall Migration Routes, Timing, and Wintering Sites of North American Ospreys as Determined by Satellite Telemetry
Satellite telemetry was used to determine fall migratory movements of Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) breeding in the United States. Study areas were established along the lower Columbia River between Oregon and Washington; in north-central Minnesota; on Shelter Island, New York; and in southern New Jersey. Seventy-four adults (25 males, 49 females) were tracked from 1995 through 1999. Migration ro...
متن کاملWintering Ecology of Adult North American Ospreys
—North American Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) typically migrate long distances to their wintering grounds in the tropics. Beyond the general distribution of their wintering range (i.e., the Caribbean, South America, and Central America), very little is known about the wintering ecology of these birds. We used satellite telemetry to determine the duration of wintering period, to examine the charac...
متن کاملRepeatability of individual migration routes, wintering sites, and timing in a long‐distance migrant bird
Migratory birds are often faithful to wintering (nonbreeding) sites, and also migration timing is usually remarkably consistent, that is, highly repeatable. Spatiotemporal repeatability can be of advantage for multiple reasons, including familiarity with local resources and predators as well as avoiding the costs of finding a new place, for example, nesting grounds. However, when the environmen...
متن کاملRange and Movements of Female Heaviside’s Dolphins (cephalorhynchus Heavisidii), as Determined by Satellite-linked Telemetry
Heaviside’s dolphin (Cephalorhynchus heavisidii) is a coastal delphinid with a limited inshore distribution off the west coast of southern Africa. Knowledge of its habitat usage is an essential precursor to assessing its potential vulnerability to fisheries interactions. Six Heaviside’s dolphins (1 male and 5 females) were fitted with satellitelinked transmitters in 2004, and tracked for up to ...
متن کاملWintering area DDE source to migratory white-faced ibis revealed by satellite telemetry and prey sampling.
Locations of contaminant exposure for nesting migratory species are difficult to fully understand because of possible additional sources encountered during migration or on the wintering grounds. A portion of the migratory white-faced ibis (Plegadis chihi) nesting at Carson Lake, Nevada continues to be exposed to dichloro-diphenyldichloro-ethylene (DDE) with no change, which is unusual, observed...
