Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS), Québec Region

In 1998 and 1999, biologists from the Canadian Wildlife Service tracked movements of Barrow’s Goldeneye using satellite telemetry. This technique consists of fitting birds with radios that transmit signals to satellites which in turn relay this information to the biologists. In other words, the birds are captured, fitted with a radio, released and then tracked on a (nearly) daily basis from the biologist’s office.
