Our seabird researcher, Rob Ronconi, is in the South Atlantic working =
with a number of other researchers on the seabirds nesting on Gough and =
Inaccessible Islands.  They have begun to put satellite transmitters on =
some of the greater shearwaters which will hopefully yield among other =
things, the movements of the birds while nesting and their migration =
back to the North Atlantic.  Here is the url so you can watch the =
movements of these birds.

Greater shearwaters tracked from the Tristan da Cunha area: =
http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/?project_id=3D452

You can also check on the Greater shearwaters tracked from the Bay of =
Fundy this summer: http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/?project_id=3D436

And also the three herring gulls that have solar powered satellite tags =
and were tagged on Kent Island while nesting.  Not as much movement =
lately from these three since nesting was over:  One remains in the Bay =
of Fundy, one has moved down the coast of Maine and one is in the =
Chesapeake. http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/?project_id=3D428
