Hi All
Here is a very good newsletter that the Conservation Center sends out on
bird research here in the Commonwealth. Most of it is in the eastern part
of the state due to the Centers association with the college of William and
Mary. Still some great stuff on some great research going on within the
state and the world.

Tracking eagles beyond the Chesapeake
For the past year, CCB biologists have been trapping eagles on Aberdeen
Proving Ground within the upper Chesapeake Bay to learn more about their
movement patterns. Captured birds have been fitted with state-of-the-art
tracking devices that record GPS locations every hour, store the information
in data files, and communicate the data to researchers via satellite. When
completed, this will be one of the largest tracking studies of bald eagles
ever conducted.

Winnie the Whimbrel has trekked to the Pacific coast
CCB and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in Virginia successfully used a state
of the art satellite transmitter to track a whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus)
from Virginia to Alaska, and now to Oregon. This event documents an unknown
and unexpected migration route between the mid-Atlantic coast and the
northwestern Arctic. The whimbrel completed the apparent nonstop flight from
Virginia to Alaska, of more than 5,000 km (3,200 miles) in 146 hours.
The whimbrel, referred to now as Winnie, is continuing her flight. You can
follow her progress with CCB at our whimbrel tracking website.

Investigating Human-Vulture Conflicts
In recent decades, managing conflicts between wildlife populations and
humans has become a growth industry. Whether it is the impact of expanding
deer herds on agricultural crops, or cormorants depleting southern fish
farms it is increasingly difficult for managers to strike a balance between
social interests and the health of wildlife populations. The Center for
Conservation Biology is partnering with Virginia Department of Game and
Inland Fisheries and the Virginia state office of U.S. Department of
Agriculture Wildlife Services to collect and analyze data on black vulture
populations.

CCB Returns to Panama to Reassess Migrant Shorebirds
The Panama Canal Zone and the greater Bay of Panama represents a continental
crossroads where large numbers of intercontinental migrants converge. During
the fall of 1997, the Center for Conservation Biology in collaboration with
the Department of Defense Legacy Program and the Smithsonian Tropical
Research Institute conducted the first systematic investigation of
waterbirds within this region. This fall, CCB researchers will reassess the
status of shorebirds in the upper Bay of Panama.
