I like that HFN and Kauai will be in the same state together. I may have to visit.Comment

Each state appears to be named for its most picturesque location. Ah, Gary. Lovely especially this time of year.Originally posted by Clark Addison View PostComment

The heartbeat sound is annoying, but still pretty interesting:

I saw that awhile back. Really neat. I think they relied on a huge crowd-sourcing operation to help track the migration patterns."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Why couldn't they just put monitors on birds and track those?Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Post
Agreed very cool. Some birds appear to move all the way from Argentina to Canada and back.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

I'm pretty sure many monitors were used. But IIRC, a lot of people helped with the data. I could be wrong though.Originally posted by myboynoah View Post"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Apologies if I am missing something obvious here. Is this all migratory birds? Or limited to one/some species?
Follow up question. Is there one for the Eastern hemisphere? I'm interested in seeing African vs. European Swallows.Comment

Monitors are very expensive to purchase, expensive to place on birds (very labor intensive by highly-skilled people who know how to not injure the birds), and difficult to track over water. In order to have monitors trackable via satellite, you would need something far heavier than most passerine birds could safely carry.Originally posted by myboynoah View Post"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action.

I think there are lots of websites for that. I'd be very careful about googling them at work.Originally posted by Clark Addison View Post"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
