Black-capped Petrel satellite tracking project needs your help
Angus Wilson
The American Bird Conservancy (ABC) is planning to safely capture eight Black-capped Petrels foraging in waters near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and fit them with satellite tracking units to learn where birds visiting this area actually breed. The team has raised enough funds to purchase hand-carved decoys to assist in safely capturing the birds, but do not yet have enough funding to buy the essential satellite tracking equipment. Each tracker costs $2,850.
If you or anyone you know wants to contribute to this important conservation effort, please visit https://abcbirds.org/track-the-petrel/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=e28d240a-18df-4478-b3b9-fbbd9423275d. People who donate at various levels can win one of the decoys - each a unique piece of art; track each bird’s real-time location on an online map; and name a tagged bird.
If you have questions, please contact Holly Robertson at HRobe...@abcbirds.org.
Unfortunately, time is tight and they need to close the appeal very soon.
