Several capture techniques may be employed at a nest.
A walk-in trap is shown on the satellite
transmitter methodology page.
We
also captured birds using snares placed around nests or near decoys within a pairs' territory.
VHF transmitters were secured to the birds' back
by tying line around each leg
After
releasing them, birds were easy to observe as they flew away.
Keeping track of them throughout the next year may prove more
challenging.
