As we gain more daylight and warmer temperatures in the spring, we are also graced with the sound of chirping birds in the morning.
 Red-winged black birds (pictured), American woodcock, song sparrows, and Eastern phoebes are finishing their treks back to Maine from their wintering grounds, some traveling thousands of miles in a matter of a few days. While these and many other small but mighty migratory birds make this remarkable trip each year without the help of a GPS on their iPhone or a printed map, Maine's bird biologists and partners have been tracking bird migration with satellite transmitters and radio transmission tags. This helps biologists across the country and beyond identify migration routes, critical habitat, and better understand species behavior.
