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.The storymap is available at the following link:https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/5bab01fc5fa445f58ee54c062b4d2f3dStory Map Created by Alex Cook, USFWS Directorate Fellowship Program 2020 Cohort
