Early environment may be key to determining bird migration location
Date:2/18/2008

s very important to these birds. If their winter habitat gets drier and their departure dates get later, populations in southern areas could see big declines.

The team next hopes next to research the redstarts breeding grounds. By analyzing isotopes in feathers of redstarts arriving to breed in Maryland, we plan to ask whether birds dispersing here from northern areas spent the winter in different habitats compared to birds dispersing from southern areas, Studds says.
