Migrations In Motion

Quote: "Removing fencing, adding wildlife overpasses (or underpasses) to major roadways, and better routing of infrastructure like pipelines and powerlines can all help re-connect areas fragmented by human development."

Biochemical and clinical responses of Common Eiders to implanted satellite transmitters

http://sci-hub.cc/10.1650/CONDOR-16-7.1

"Our findings show that Common Eiders physiologically responded for up to 3.5 mo after surgical implantation of a PTT, with the greatest response occurring within the first few weeks of implantation. These responses support the need for postsurgery censor periods for satellite telemetry data and should be considered when designing studies and analyzing information from PTTs in sea ducks."

Use of citizen science to identify factors affecting bird-window collision risk at houses

http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.1650/CONDOR-16-26.1

"Given that few homeowners are likely to take an approach that reduces the number of birds in their yards, future focus needs to be given to bird-friendly urban design and developing the most effective window deterrents so that collisions can be reduced and birds enjoyed in urban environments."
