Ben Hong Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I believe that Dr. Erik Blomberg is still a member on the UJ. Prof Blomberg, with, Canadian input, has completed (?) a comprehensive study of "Scolopax minor" or American woodcock, just in time for the woodcock season soon to come. I don't know if the study has been officially published yet, but here is the article from the CBC. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/woodcock-study-results-remarkable-1.5678256 Link to post Share on other sites
spinfly Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Nice article Ben, thanks for sharing. Miss reading Rhode Islands adventures here, but I am sure Wisconsin is quite proud! Link to post Share on other sites
Lurch Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 agreed - miss seeing Sue in the picturesque wide open vistas.... Link to post Share on other sites
Millriver Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Great article, thanks for sharing. I’ve never shot a banded bird, let alone one with a GPS transmitter. Hoping I never do, that information is just too valuable. Link to post Share on other sites

Sue’s enjoying semi-retirement in Maine. Erik assured me he has a ruffed grouse/woodcock season or two left in him. Link to post Share on other sites

Huntschool Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I sure miss reading his posts as a Doctoral candidate. We shared some woodcock info also. From this post I assume Erik is doing well and has his foot well intrenched in woodcock research. I do wish he was working with the Mississippi Valley migration route. Selfish me.....

That may begin next spring. Stay tuned, I’ll keep UJ followers informed. Meanwhile, Erik and Sue opened this year’s Maine 2020 season in style. Ken Link to post Share on other sites

ARKBRDHUNTER Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Glad to see Sue is still going. Rhode Island's input and knowledge helped change my mind about coyotes benefits to upland game in that they are also a predator of raccoons and possum that are a much more severe nest predator. While he and I probably still disagree on avian predators he always brought a lot of knowledge into discussions and always remained professional. Wisconsin should be very proud. Love the picture of Sue and the grandchild. Nothing better than young kids and old dogs. Link to post Share on other sites
NW River Mac Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I too miss the technical information he would graciously add to this forum. I do hope he is enjoying his stay here in Maine. Link to post Share on other sites
