U.S. Fish & Wildlife ServiceThis storymap visualizes data from Piping Plovers that were tagged at nesting areas in southern New England and tracked during fall migration using the Motus network (www.motus.org). The storymap is available at the following link: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/5bab01fc5fa445f58ee54c062b4d2f3d Explore the map below to see how Piping Plovers take flight and make their away across the Atlantic--sometimes flying as fast as 80 km an hour. For migrating plovers, wind and weather conditions play an important role in their flight departures; and stopover sites in the Mid-Atlantic provide critical habitat for rest and refueling. Here in this map, you can look at how nano-tagged Piping Plovers from Rhode Island and Massachusetts timed their migration flights with wind conditions.
