Our last great #shearwater that's still transmitting-Iron Man seems to have started its migration south! #trackseabirds #seabirds #birds #BirdsOfTwitter #science #research #scicomm #birdwatching

Our 2023 #trackseabirds season has come to an end. Here are final locations & tracks for great and sooty shearwaters. Lots of new information on sootys to dig into and already looking forward to next season! #seabirds #birds #BirdsOfTwitter #scicomm #research #birding

Our team at NOAA Stellwagen Bank NMS is out satellite tagging Great Shearwaters! Stay tuned this week with updates from the field. So far 8 birds have been tagged, giving scientists valuable information about their migration and lifecycle! #birdtagging #birdresearch #noaasanctuaries

It’s been awhile but we’re back in action again! The #trackseabirds team deployed 11 satellite tags on great shearwaters this week! Follow the birds’ journeys here! NOAA Stellwagen Bank NMS National Marine Sanctuary Foundation

Current locations of our 11 tagged great shearwaters! The team is on the water again today- stayed tuned for updates! #trackseabirds #birds #seabirds #Science #BirdsOfTwitter

This year our tagged #seabirds are named after / by City of New Bedford schools! Here are some of our long distance travelers so far. Great shearwaters Hathaway hanging out on the east side of the Atlantic and Sailor foraging on the Grand Banks! #trackseabirds #birds #BirdsOfTwitter
