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.

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.
