National Geographic's Wild Chronicles filmed this video on Simon Perkins, Mass Audubon ornithologist, and the US Geological Survey, as they research Long-tailed Ducks. As part of the environmental impact research on the proposed Cape wind farm in Nantucket Sound, they need to know where the Long-Tailed Ducks roost and feed while they are in Nantucket Sound.

Mass Audubon is despicable. Google: Newsvine Mass Audubon condition of support for Cape Wind spells bias
Mass Audubon staff scientists arrived at up to 6,600 avian mortalities per year by Cape Wind in their testimony. Yet, Mass Audubon offers to "support" Cape Wind, so long as Cape Wind funds a contract to count avian carcasses caused by Cape Wind.
Will Mass Audubon bid on or accept this long-term adaptive managment monitoring and mitigation contract--to be funded by Cape Wind?
