Research summary

James R. Wright studies the migration ecology of birds, particularly declining songbird and shorebird species such as the Rusty Blackbird and lesser yellowlegs. His work uses tracking technologies like GPS tags to identify migratory routes, stopover sites, and non-breeding habitats across the Americas, including the Amazon Basin. This research supports conservation planning by clarifying where migratory birds go and what habitats they depend on throughout the year.
