About the EWMRC
The Eastern Woodcock Migration Research Cooperative is an international collaborative interested in understanding migratory ecology for the American Woodcock. The project is coordinated by the University of Maine, and involves partners from throughout the United States and Canada.
Woodcock have declined over the last 50+ years throughout eastern North America, and we seek to understand how the conditions they experience and the choices they make during migration may influence these declines. By working with a broad set of partners, we use GPS and satellite technology to track woodcock as they migrate between their northern breeding areas and southern wintering grounds.
On our site you can read about the project's research objectives, view the current status of our marked birds on our migration page, meet our project partners and cooperating agencies, and learn about how to support our research.
