<html> <body> And here's about one of our own! (From Bird Studies Canada):<br><br> <dl> <dd><a name=3D"Radar_Supplements_Migration_Monitoring_in_Long_Point_Area_"> </a>Radar Supplements Migration Monitoring in Long Point Area<br><br> <dd><font face=3D"Times New Roman, Times" color=3D"#FF0000">24 October 2007</b></font> =96 Over the decades, a great deal of work has been done using ornithological radar, but the equipment is expensive, and the data can be difficult to interpret. Acadia University=92s Dr. Phil Taylor, BSC=92= s 2007-08 Visiting Scientist, has been working with students and colleagues to develop relatively simple and inexpensive software to refine the study of radar ornithology. <br> <dd> Long Point Bird Observatory=92s migration monitoring program has been collecting information on the ground for almost 50 years. Through observations, daily censuses, and bird banding, we are able to obtain a comprehensive picture of the birds that have landed at Long Point overnight and are passing through during the day. But how many birds fly over Long Point in the night, without stopping? Data collected by Dr. Taylor=92s radar equipment around the clock at BSC=92s Port Rowan headquarters is now supplementing information from LPBO to give us an even more detailed understanding of migration in the Long Point area.

Last week, David Bonter of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (which manages the FeederWatch program in the U.S.) appeared on The Martha Stewart Show</i> to share information about birdwatching and Project FeederWatch with Martha and her audience.
