At a larger spatial and temporal scale, we also study the migration of Northern gannets

Round trip migrations of northern gannets (Morus bassanus) from (a) Cape St. Mary's and (b) Funk Island. Daily positions are color coded by month.  From Fiflield, et al. (2008).

Weather and wind (red arrows) assisting fall trans-Atlantic migrations of northern gannets (Morus bassanus) from Funk Island (squares) and Cape St. Mary's (triangles). Arrow length is proportional to wind speed.  Fom Fiflield, et al. (2008).
