The BioDiversity Institute in Gorham, Maine has released information 
about owl and raptor coastal migrations. The full news release is 
posted on Mainebirding at 
<http://groups.google.com/group/maine-birds/browse_thread/thread/http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://www.mainebirding.net/news/item790&usg=AFQjCNFDs4T58TeUsWz4jaCdn3Wi61WQ7w>http://www.mainebirding.net/news/item790 


"In a new study, researchers from the BioDiversity Research Institute 
(BRI) describe how northern saw-whet owls and several falcon species 
use Maine's offshore islands during their fall migrations. This past 
fall, BRI wildlife biologists set up a falcon research station at 
Monhegan Island, and seven owl research stations from Lubec to Cape 
Elizabeth to determine if, where, and when nocturnal and daytime 
birds of prey, or raptors, were moving along the Maine 
coast."   There is more info as well at http://briloon.org/MBAN/

What would a similar study on our coastal islands find?  Bon Portage, 
the Tuskets, Brier ...
