FOLLOW THE AMERICAN WOODCOCK MIGRATION LIVE! View the cutting-edge satellite research on GoogleEarth® conducted by the USGS Arkansas Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Unit, USGS Minnesota Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Unit and the USFWS. RGS and AWS are also project cooperators providing assistance and funding for this research. The GoogleEarth® maps show the migratory locations of American woodcock outfitted with satellite transmitters (PTTs). These solar-powered PTTs are small enough to fit on a woodcock’s back during migration and powerful enough to transmit multiple locations to the ARGOS satellite network every two days (10 hours on, 48 hours off). The calendar can be used to see where woodcock were on a given date. The points can be dragged along the migration path to see the relative locations of other woodcock on that date.
