This is a cooperative project involving the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the University of Florida, the National Audubon Society, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and the University of Georgia's Savannah River Ecology Laboratory.

Abstract:
We are deploying satellite transmitters on Wood storks to examine their large-scale movements, breeding season foraging range and habitat use, breeding site tenacity over time, and habitat use during the non-breeding season. Most storks were captured via rocket netting, although a few were captured with a drop net.

摘要：
本研究通过在林鹳（Wood storks）身上部署卫星发射器，旨在探究其大范围移动模式、繁殖季觅食范围与栖息地利用特征、长期的繁殖位点持留性，以及非繁殖季的栖息地利用模式。绝大多数林鹳通过火箭网诱捕获取，仅少数个体采用坠网方式完成捕获。
