Daniel Thiede, a local multimedia artist, is photographing and recording the project and putting together a short-film documentary.  The documentary will be an engaging way to educate the public about this declining species. 

In 2020, we expanded the project with the deployment of archival GPS nanotags to track non-breeding season movements of Oregon Vesper Sparrows breeding in the Rogue Basin. We successfully captured 10 males at our Howard Prairie study site and placed GPS backpacks on them using a leg-loop harness.
