Title:
Photo of the Week - Red-necked Phalarope (ME)
Description:
Photo of the Week - 1/27/14 ‘Unique’ bird migration discovered A tracking device which weighs less than a paperclip has helped scientists uncover what they say is one of the world’s great bird migrations. It was attached to a red-necked phalarope from Scotland that migrated thousands of miles west across the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. The journey has never before been recorded for a European breeding bird. The red-necked phalarope is one of the UK’s rarest birds, and is only found in Shetland and the Western Isles. For more information on this ‘unique’ migration: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-25661650 Red-necked Phalarope use many coastal areas, like the recent Coastal Grant recipient in Harpswell Maine (www.fws.gov/gomcp/) as stopover habitat during their migration. They are also a high priority species for the region and the Atlantic Flyway Shorebird Conservation Business Strategy (www.manomet.org/sites/default/files/publications and tool...) www.fws.gov/northeast www.facebook.com/usfwsnortheast Credit: Mike Baird
