A research project to determine the success of collision birds upon release
Tag placed on Fox Sparrow
Research led by Carnegie Museum of Natural History's Powdermill Nature Reserve hopes to determine the success of collision birds in this three-year study. The rescued birds from Lights Out Baltimore upon release from Phoenix Wildlife Center will be banded and tagged to monitor the migration of the birds. The same time that the rehabilitated birds are released, birds caught at Washington College fitted with tags will also be released for a compare and contrast. Both Washington College and Phoenix Wildlife Center have installed Motus Wildlife Tracking Systems on their property to track migration of the tagged birds.
