. . Scientists To Track Migration
Snowy owls stand about two feet and weigh about four pounds. “They are big, personable birds and they do what they want and when they want,” said Assateague Island National Seashore Scientific Communicator Kelly Taylor.

FROM PAGE 12 largely nocturnal, but during the current irruption on Assateague and other beach areas along the midAtlantic coast they have been readily visible. “They are nocturnal, but because they are migrating and are likely in search of food, they have been seen often in recent weeks along the beaches,” she said. “They are big, personable birds and they do what they want and when they want.” Taylor said scientists have been able to attach what are essentially tracking devices on some of the snowy owls that are visiting the area, which could provide some insight into
how they ended up here and where they might be headed next. “Scientists have fitted some of the snowy owls with tracking devices that basically look like little backpacks,” she said. “Using the devices, they hope to be able to identify the reason for this current irruption. What makes them unique is that because they are for birds, they are very small and very light. They are solar-powered, which is pretty neat. Sometimes, you might see a sika deer on the island with a tracking device that is like a batterypowered collar, but the batteries eventually wear out. With these solar-powered devices on the owls, they should stay powered for a long time.”
