Episode 3: Amazing Migrations with Roy Lowe
Paul talks to Roy Lowe, retired biologist and refuge manager with the US Fish & Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) National Wildlife Refuge Program. As the first USFWS agent stationed on the Oregon Coast, Roy has accrued decades of experience studying seabirds and their migration habits within the Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex. Paul and Roy discuss the amazing endurance and navigational feats of migratory seabirds, theories on how these birds navigate to find their destinations, and some new technologies being used to understand the movements of migratory birds.
