When the Academy of Natural Sciences' Associate Curator of Ornithology, Jason Weckstein, and Senior Exhibition Designer, Lauren Duguid, approached our Sales & Marketing team last autumn to see if we'd be up for loaning some of our cool gear to fill out their Technology Tracking display, we were super excited and...
This is a guest blog post authored by Sam Merker, research biologist, University of Connecticut, in Storrs, Connecticut. Since our post on American Bittern tracking research in Connecticut was published, we have received more than a few inquiries about how we capture a species that is known for being elusive, secretive,...
In affiliation with Min Huang of Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) and Chris Elphick of the University of Connecticut, in March of 2022, we began fieldwork to tag Connecticut's American Bitterns (AMBI). Gathering information about AMBI's nesting biology, habitat distribution, and migratory behavior is both time-consuming and challenging. However, attaining annual cycle...
My research has focused on using novel telemetry methods to see if we can, for the first time, get a glimpse inside the life of individual hawk owls by monitoring their winter movements and microhabitat preferences in northern Minnesota and southern Manitoba.
In British Columbia, Turkey Vultures occupy the most extreme northwest portion of their broad range in the Americas, and they continue to expand. Gill Radcliffe wanted to learn more, and is using CTT's tech to study the local ecology, migratory movements, and health of Turkey Vultures in the Pacific Northwest.
In winter 2022-23, Mike Lanzone and Dr. Trish Miller launched a research project in Arkansas. Their primary objective is capturing five Golden Eagles and attaching ES-500 GPS/GSM + Argos Hybrid tracking devices to each one in order to understand the wintering ecology of Golden Eagles in Arkansas.
For a newcomer to the world of wildlife telemetry, interacting with raptor researchers at their annual conference allowed me an ideal primer/initiation experience/crash course in this very singular world.
