Pheasant Project Ending

This weekend we finished tracking birds for the Millersville Ring-necked Pheasant Project.  Tonight we will be trapping bird 0.65 to get the last of the VHF collars back.  Students will then begin analysis of the spatial data by calculating home range size of birds, identifying spatial overlap between birds and looking at habitat selection.  Below is a final map of pheasant locations, with each circle representing a bird location and each color representing a different bird.  There are at least 3 wild birds still using the Lancaster Central Park Area.
