Our birds are deserting us. In fact, an estimated 50,000,000 birds departed from the northeastern United States on Monday night, when winds were particularly favorable. By next spring, we are going to know exactly where a few of them went. Eolocators are about the size and weight of a paper clip. Because they require little power and minimal memory, geolocators can track and store a bird’s location over long periods, sometimes years. ~ Bob Duchesne
