Track Seabirds

Great #shearwater Franklin has returned to the breeding island! Genetics came back and Franklin is male. Returning fit his incubation shift?!?! Hayden and Hathaway still in the N Atlantic #trackseabirds #seabirds #birds #BirdsOfTwitter #birding # scicomm #data #biology

@Baldbirder1 Likely an error in the location data, yes, always some margin of error in these data and some poorer quality hits. Franklin was tagged in early July and arrived at Inaccessible yesterday/early this morning.

@trackseabirds A fabulous tracking! What was the original banding/ringing and ‘arrival home’ dates? Presumably a ‘blip’ in the data or a genuine trip inland in South America?

Exciting news! Great #shearwater Franklin has made it to Inaccessible Islands! Only the 2nd #bird we’ve tracked to the breeding grounds!! Stay tuned! #trackseabirds #seabirds #SciComm

Some interesting locations for our tagged #shearwaters. Two #birds using the mid-Atlantic and 3 birds are now south of the equator! Will we have any breeders?! Stay tuned! #trackseabirds #BirdsOfTwitter #research #scicomm

#Birds are on the move and migrating! Great #shearwater Franklin already south of the equator and off Brazil. Sherwin headed S and Pax and Hathaway still in the N Atlantic! #trackseabirds #scicomm #seabirds #BirdsOfTwitter #migration

This year our tagged #seabirds are named after / by @NewBedford_MA 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

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

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! @NOAASBNMS @marinesanctuary

Our team at @NOAASBNMS 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

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

@wilsonjaredm Sure! We are definitely interested in making connections about where our tagged birds hang out! Let’s chat offline. My email is tammy.silva@noaa.gov

Sooty #shearwater Scarlett Witch heading south, closely hugging the west coast of Africa! #trackseabirds #birds #seabirds #BirdsOfTwitter #birdwatching #Science #scicomm #research

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

Sooty #shearwater Loki is making its way south along the west coast of Africa! #trackseabirds #Loki #MarvelStudios #birds #BirdsOfTwitter #bird #seabird #scicomm #Science #dataviz

Sooty #shearwaters #CaptainAmerica & Scarlet Witch have made it across the Atlantic! Excited to see where they go next! #trackseabirds #birds #birdwatching #SCIENCE #research #conservation #BirdsOfTwitter

We have received reports of tuna fishermen trolling their gear too close to humpback whales. This can/has resulted in injuries to the whales & people. If you witness dangerous/questionable behavior call NOAA Fisheries' Enforcement Hotline at 800-853-1964; ow.ly/ApcV50PE5FN

Great #shearwater #IronMan has been working its way around the Gulf of Maine. Now 18 nm south of Cape Sable #NovaScotia #trackseabirds #Marvel #birds #seabirds #birdwatching #BirdsOfTwitter #dataviz

Great #shearwater #Antman is off! Our 1st tagged #bird to start crossing the Atlantic, almost to the mid-Atlantic Ridge. #trackseabirds #seabirds #research #birdwatching #birding #birds #BirdsOfTwitter #scicomm

1st year tracking sooty #shearwaters & they're doing cool stuff! @LokiOfficial still around #CapeCod, @CaptainAmerica & Scarlet Witch (within 3nm of each other), @Hulk & Rocket off #Newfoundland & Sherwin (not Marvel) way N east of Hebron, Newfoundland! #trackseabirds
