Paper published!

Thank you again to everyone that contributed to this project. It would not have been possible without your help!

And after years of raising money, doing field work, analyzing data and writing, the day is finally here where there is a published paper that summarizes the work: "Land cover and NDVI are important predictors in habitat selection along migration for the Golden-crowned Sparrow, a temperate-zone migrating songbird". For anyone that would like to see it, you can find it here: https://movementecologyjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40462-022-00353-2

Two more papers are in the works, but I am super excited to see this one out there! It's open access, so you don't need to worry about a paywall to check out the research you helped fund! Thanks again! :)

About This Project

I research migration paths for the golden-crowned sparrow. Migration is one of the least understood phases of the life-cycle of these birds. During the winter of 2019, I plan to put GPS tags on 10 birds in California, as part of a larger tagging project. In 2020, I will go back to the same location to recapture the birds and collect the tags. I expect to retrieve 1 in 3 tags. I plan to download tag data and analyze the results to write up as a journal publication.

Blast off!
