Deveaux Bank: Roost Ecology Primer

- Deveaux Bank, South Carolina, was recently discovered to be the nocturnal roost for half of the entire Atlantic Flyway population of Whimbrel. New GPS tracking data from individual Whimbrel are beginning to reveal the intricate function and delicate importance of offshore refuges, like Deveaux, within coastal landscapes.
What a beautiful bird. I truly love the education. Without these studies, I may have never known about them.
Wow, that GPS tracking project is so cool. The field technicians that worked on that must be so hardworking… and talented… and handsome…
Were you perhaps... one of them 😳 lol
Thank you so much for the information on these beautiful birds. I so can’t wait to have my own piece of land where I can provide a safe haven for wildlife. This inspires me to keep saving to help wildlife. And I love learning about more and more animals like this.
Thank you for sharing.
The production design on this is fantastic. I'd love to read more about the making of this video (editing and videography behind the scenes)
Thank you so much, being a true South Carolina native I don’t get nearly as much info for our birds especially well all really but especially the water fowl
Thank you for sharing this!!! Informative and very well done!
Incredible! Thank you for sharing that information!!
An important island to include in a reserve! I wonder if old oil rigs could be repurposed into similar habitat as a failsafe.
Love this video!❤
Its so pretty, and when they fly they go so fast on trans continental journeys, no freak storm can stop them for more than a wee bit, they are on flyways that connect hemispheres and that has always been, and will never ever stop, the mighty migration, the mighty BIRD.
@cornellbirds How long do the GPS trackers remain with the birds?
Soon they birds and others all will be gone because of human😮😢
Hey, human? Pick a local species you like and get involved with conservation efforts. Bald eagles were almost extinct once. One guy (Tim Wong) saved an entire species of butterfly. Indigenous peoples worldwide co-existed with ecosystems for millennia, and often retain the management practices to fix them. I presonally have a garden at most four metres square and besides growing me herbs I grow plants for pollinators and have a tiny, vertical compost heap, which is packed with native worms. I've had healthy bumblebee nests two years in a row, just from keeping a tiny green space in a concrete landscape. Hope doesn't fall from the sky, and acting like there's no point carrying as many of our fellow-creatures to higher ground with us as we can because factors out of our control (billionaires, late-stage capitalism in general) will kill what we can't carry discourages people from making the effort to fill their arms. Doomerism is polloution of the mental habitat; clean up.
