December 19, 2022Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries announced that the next Conservation Conversations will be on December 20 and will discuss Waterfowl Migration Research. “Recent advancements in transmitter technology have ushered in a new era of waterfowl research. And the findings are nothing short of astounding,” reads a statement from LDWF.
According to LDWF, one pintail hen who was tagged in Louisiana in January this year was tracked on a journey of over 10,000 miles. The final leg of her epic migration included a trip from eastern Russia to northern California in just over 28 hours – that’s 2,000 miles – in October, reaching ground speeds of up to 150 miles per hour.
Tune into the virtual discussion here on Tuesday, December 20, 2022 at noon to learn more about what this new technology has allowed LDWF researchers to learn about waterfowl migration patterns. This episode will feature guest speaker Paul Link, Research Program Manager at Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge.
