🐦 NEW: Myrtle #warblers banded in #Alaska carried Tic Tac-sized geolocator backpacks that logged light and air pressure for a year.

The #data from recaptured #birds showed an eastward loop across Canadian boreal #forest to the #GulfCoast, a nearly 11,000 km (6,800 mi) round-trip likely tracing an ancient post-glacial expansion.
