Blackpoll Warbler
Credit: Jeff Nadler Example caption: A Blackpoll Warbler fitted with a geolocator was tracked flying non-stop over the Atlantic Ocean from eastern Canada all the way to the Caribbean, where it rested before resuming its journey to its wintering grounds in Venezuela. | Canada Warbler
Credit: Jeff Nadler Example caption: Sighting uploads into online databases from everyday citizens has helped map the migratory range of the Canada Warbler, which breeds throughout the Boreal Forest and northeastern U.S. and winters in Central and South America. |
Whimbrel
Credit: Jeff Nadler Example caption: A Whimbrel named Pingo was tracked using a satellite transmitter from its breeding grounds near the Arctic Ocean in northwestern Canada through two pit stops in Ontario Nova Scotia before barely skirting around Hurricane Isaac over the Atlantic Ocean en route to Brazil. | Gray-cheeked Thrush
Credit: Jeff Nadler Example caption: A Gray-cheeked Thrush that was fitted with a radio transmitter in northern Colombia was detected by an antenna nearly one month later on the Hudson Bay coast of Manitoba. |
Wilson's Warbler
Credit: Jeff Nadler Example caption: Genetic markers, which are embedded in DNA, can inform researches as to where the individuals were born when sampled in winter locations. Individuals wintering near the Pacific Ocean in Mexico were found to have come from Alaska and western Canada. | White-throated Sparrow
Credit: Jeff Nadler Example caption: Isotopes, which are variations of common periodic elements, can show which regions individuals spend significant time in. A White-throated Sparrow sampled in Manitoba was found to breed in the western boreal region of Canada and spend winters in the U.S. Gulf Coast. |
