The two birds that are being tracked via satellite technology are female and came to us on June 8 from the Hart-Miller Lighthouse in the Chesapeake Bay. They are outfitted with solar-powered transmitters that send a signal to a satellite. The transmitters represent about 2%-3% of the birds weight and do not interfere with their movement. ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
