"Always around but never close: Why researchers are in a hurry to learn the many secrets of the Magnificent Frigatebird", by Mark Hedden 

Check out this new article in BirdWatching on a bird so distinct and memorable, yet so threatened in its U.S. wintering roosts and single, declining breeding colony. Learn how ARCI and our collaborator, USFWS wildlife biologist Tom Wilmers, are working to uncover new knowledge on frigatebirds' movements, habits, and dwindling populations.

"The hope is that solving a few of the Magnificent Frigatebird's mysteries might bring about a way to protect them."
