Saltmarsh Sparrow

From USFWS Northeast Region:




Reach into your pocket and pull out eight pennies. That's roughly the same weight as this tiny saltmarsh sparrow. Their light weight and small stature made it impossible for biologists to track individual birds - until now. Nano technology is now being used to learn more about how these vulnerable birds are using their rapidly disappearing habitat so we and our partners, includingSaltmarsh Habitat & Avian Research Program, can determine the best way to conserve them for future generations. http://bit.ly/1OqR4OD
