Muscovy Ducks along the Rio Grande are being studied. Using geolocators we hope to unravel the mystery of their movements. Nestboxes will hopefully increase their numbers on ranches that want to promote bird watching.

Masked Duck Research

After a suitable capture technique is developed we plan to attach geolocators to Masked Ducks (Below). Over time these devices will record the nomadic movements of this species throughout the Caribbean.
