Each spring and fall billions of songbirds depart on nocturnal migrations across the globe. Theory suggests that should migration shortly after sunset to maximize their potential for nightly flight duration or time departure with emergence celestial cues needed orientation navigation. Although captive studies have found during a narrow window sunset, observational wild birds later more asynchronously relative than predicted.We used coded radio tags automated radio-telemetry estimate nearly...
Abstract Behavioral flexibility of individuals is essential if organisms are to ultimately adapt climate change. As environmental conditions, such as precipitation patterns become increasingly variable, fine-scale spatiotemporal in space use may allow for track resources during periods adverse or atypical conditions. Individual behavioral observable over short timeframes and can therefore be used assess resilience a species projected shifts climate. The goal our study was determine how...
Improving our understanding of migratory behaviors and connectivity is fundamental for identifying limiting factors drivers population decline. With advances in miniaturized tracking technology, we are now able to study these critical aspects avian ecology, which, secretive species, was once an exceptional challenge. Here, identify several unknown the behavior elusive Swainson’s Warbler (<em>Limnothlypis swainsonii</em>), by individuals from populations breeding Louisiana, U.S., wintering...
A female Kirtland's Warbler (Setophaga kirtlandii) was observed and captured on 12 February 2019 at the Font Hill Nature Reserve (18°02′N, 77°57′W) south coast of Jamaica, hundreds kilometers southwest its typical nonbreeding range. This is first report a in Jamaica. The individual resighted same area twice after initial capture, spending least 7 weeks study site, suggesting this bird may have been wintering Overall, it unclear if represents expanding range recently increasing population or...
