Summary: This is a continuation of a project begun in 1986 to study year to year variation in breeding densities of shorebirds. The Researcher and team will determine which species of birds breed on the islands of the Foxe Basin, which habitats they use and how their numbers change from year to year. They are also interested in producing a map of the main wildlife habitats on the islands using satellite im...

Summary: Dr. Morrison and his research team will capture shorebirds to study their migration routes between northern Ellesmere Island and wintering areas in Europe. They will also study the physical condition of the birds to determine how they cope with the stress of migration and whether they need to bring fat and protein with them to survive and breed....

Summary: Dr. Morrison and his research team intend to gather information on the breeding and shoreline habitats of birds in the Foxe Basin area. They hope to fill a major gap in the knowledge of avifauna in the Canadian Arctic, specifically, population census, breeding densities, return rates, migration and wintering ranges and remote sensing studies on vegetation and terrain habitats....
