🚨 Exciting news! The Swiss Ornithological Institute is starting a collaborative program that offers multi-sensor geolocators and analytical support for bird migration research, focusing on underrepresented species & regions. Interested? geopressure.org/GeoCollabForm/ Please share!

Can a tiny magnetic sensor help geolocate migratory birds? 🧭 Earth’s magnetic field varies across the globe in both intensity and inclination. We asked whether those spatial patterns can turn magnetometer data from lightweight tags into location estimates.

Very happy to be part of this collaborative #ornithology paper on the extent of nocturnal bird migration led by @pauldufour80.bsky.social

🐦🌙 Happy to see this big collaborative paper out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We address a seemingly simple question using geolocator data collected across many species and individuals: how much of bird migration actually happens at night? www.cell.com/current-biol... A short🧵

It was great fun to join forces with @pauldufour80.bsky.social and his team plus our collaborators from the Institute of Zoology in Kazakhstan to tag more Himalayan Rubythroats and sample unexpected chiffchaffs 👇

Paul Dufour@pauldufour80.bsky.social · 2mo ago

We stopped for a few days to see @wielandheim.bsky.social & colleagues from the Zoology Institute, who were tagging Himalayan Rubythroats in Almaty. And next in the series of birds outside their breeding range: some Siberian Chiffchaffs, quite a bit farther south than expected. @pdvsky.bsky.social

Back from fieldwork in Kazakhstan: in cooperation with the Institute of Zoology in Almaty & @vogelwarte.bsky.social we tagged songbirds with geolocators to uncover their unknown #birdmigration Main target species: Himalayan Rubythroat 😍

Very much looking forward to see the #birdmigration routes of these Siberian Rubythroats tagged by @pauldufour80.bsky.social + team as part of our collaboration with the Institute of Zoology in Kazakhstan 🤩 #EastAsianFlyway
