Good morning,
Adding to the list of tracking devices that could be applied to Loggerhead
Shrike are GPS data loggers. These loggers are small enough now that a LOSH
could carry them, recording GPS locations on a programed schedule with these
data then stored onboard the logger. Issue with GPS dataloggers of this type,
and small enough to be carried by a LOSH, is that you would need to recapture
the bird to download these data. Given how much LOSH like to be recaptured this
is likely not a viable option for these birds at this point.
Just in case there is some condition in which these GPS devices could be
suitable I wanted to put this detail out there.

The internal document that I drafted for Environment Canada are guidelines for
the attachment of tracking devices to birds, so offers a summary on different
tag types (PIT, radio, satellite, data loggers), and description of a limited
number of attachment methods (glue, leg loop, body harness - all others were
considered out of scope for the current document). Looking back at it, I think
the most I would do as a “presentation” would be a slide or two of a few key
take-aways from the shrike perspective, but I think the only real tech option
at this point is radio, as all others are currently too heavy or aren’t
appropriate for short-distance migrants.
Things I can offer:
- opinions on selecting tags, and attachment methods (I’d also be curious to
compare methods with Than)
- my experiences with Motus towers
- comparison of Nanotags (tracked on Motus) vs. Lifetags (solar powered, by
Cellular Tracking Technologies)
Would folks find this useful?

Hi all,
I will ask Hazel to be more specific, but, in brief, she put together a
"review" on the tracking methods, other than banding, used in birds (small
birds? passerines) for Environment Canada. As she noted, it may not have
completed internal review, but she can provide us with a presentation on
methods, BMPs for them, etc.
Over to Hazel...

Discussion of our ability to monitor movements (by means beyond banding)?
Didn’t you hint that Hazel had something she could present?

Hi all,
As requested, here is the draft March meeting agenda. Based on today's call, we
don't need to add anything, but I will be looking to re-arrange times to ensure
adequate discussion is possible. If there is anything missing, if you think we
can "do without" anything and if anything is a priority in addition to what we
talked about today (i.e. you want to be sure we have enough time to discuss
it), please get back to my by end of this month.
Thanks!
Amy
