Until very recently the Canada jay was called the gray jay. How did the bird lose its original name in the 1950s, and gain it back again, just in time for Canada Day?
Effective conservation of migratory songbirds requires an understanding of how populations are connected between seasons. The challenge is being able to track individuals throughout the entire year.
