At Gulf Coast Bird Observatory, we’re researching beach-nesting birds and the obstacles that they face. We are excited to add a brand new side to our research this yr: light-level geolocators.
The foremost monitoring websites, we’re targeted on for this mission are Matagorda Beach and Sargent Beach. The goal species are Wilson’s Plover and Least Tern. The Wilson’s Plover is a shorebird that nests within the gentle sand alongside the dunes, mudflats, and shelly areas with vegetation. The Least Tern is a water chicken that nests in giant teams primarily in flat open shelly areas. Both of those species are protected by the Migratory Bird Act and are thought of species of excessive concern due to habitat loss and disturbance.
