Phys.org, Maine Edge Carry Report on UMaine Sandpiper Monitoring Research
Phys.org and The Maine Edge carried a University of Maine report about a two-year study of semipalmated sandpipers being conducted by biologists Rebecca Holberton and Lindsay Tudor. This year, like last, Holberton, a professor at UMaine, and Tudor, a wildlife biologist with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, are conducting health assessments and placing “nano tags” on sandpipers to monitor their movements. The scientists hope to learn more about the birds’ stay on the Maine coast during their migration from the Arctic to South America.
