Background

Spring Migration/Breeding Season 2012: Postel was captured in the marshes of Little Saint Simon, Georgia. Postel was named after Postel Creek, near place of capture. This bird migrated to breeding grounds in the Hudson Bay lowlands. We expect a southbound migration event after the breeding season commences.
