J Ornithol (2016) 157: 901. AbstractThe Wadden Sea is an important resting site on the East Atlantic Flyway for Eurasian Curlews (Numenius arquata). However, there is currently little information regarding the connectivity between breeding, staging, and over-wintering sites. We equipped four Curlews with GPS-data loggers and recorded their migration patterns during 2014–2015. Curlews left the Wadden Sea during April and migrated to their breeding grounds in (north-) eastern Russia within 2–4 days. All individuals remained in the breeding area for 51–53 days, and then returned to the same place in the Wadden Sea where they had been caught, indicating high site fidelity.

KeywordsZusammenfassungZugwege von im östlichen Wattenmeer rastenden Brachvögeln (Numenius arquata), ermittelt durch GPS-TelemetrieDas Wattenmeer ist ein wichtiges Rastgebiet für Große Brachvögel (Numenius arquata) auf dem Ostatlantischen Zugweg. Derzeit gibt es jedoch nur wenige Informationen über die Konnektivität zwischen Brut-, Rast und Überwinterungsgebieten. Wir rüsteten vier Große Brachvögel mit GPS-Datenloggern aus und zeichneten deren Zugmuster in den Jahren 2014–2015 auf. Die Brachvögel verließen das Wattenmeer während des Aprils und zogen innerhalb von 2–4 Tagen zu ihren Brutgebieten in (Nord-) Ost Russland. Alle Individuen blieben für 51–53 Tage im Brutgebiet und kehrten dann an den gleichen Ort im Wattenmeer zurück, an dem sie gefangen wurden. Dies deutete auf eine hohe Ortstreue hin.Please, wait while we are validating your browserNaperville North High School NCHS Distinguished Honor Roll- 4.000 to 6.000 Class of 2016Class of 2017Class of 2018 Class of 2019Pranav AkhandVincent Abruzzo NCHS Distinguished Honor Roll- 3.5 to 3.999Class of 2016Class of 2017Class of 2018Class of 2019   NCHS Distinguished Honor Roll- 3.000 to 3.499Class of 2016Class of 2017Class of 2018Class of 2018

Here's what to look for when shopping. Love the great outdoors? A hiking baby carrier allows you the freedom to take your little one on all your adventures. The carriers can be adjusted to fit a variety of sizes and baby weights. But what features are important to have?When choosing a hiking baby carrier that works for you and your baby, comfort ranks number one as the top feature. Laurel McCarthy, the owner of baby carrier business Carry Me Away, says "the most important feature to look for in a day hiking carrier is your comfort," but you should also be sure "that the carrier provides sufficient support for your baby."

Tami Mittan, an outdoor writer and founder of the site Colorado Mountain Mom, agrees. "More than any particular gadget or feature ... I'd say look for comfort, for both you and your child." To make the experience of hiking with your baby more enjoyable, here are some key features to look for in a hiking carrier: AdjustabilityMake sure you're able to adjust the carrier to ensure a precise fit and flexibility between multiple wearers. Proper supportMcCarthy says, "The carrier should support your child in a natural seated position so that their legs don't dangle." Waist and chest strapsIn a back carrier, a padded waist strap and a chest strap will take the pressure off of your neck and shoulders and settle it on your hips. Bonus featuresSome carriers include extra features, such as foot straps for your baby, loops for toys and sunshades. "You'll find many carriers with a lot of bells and whistles, but they aren't crucial to a successful baby carrying experience," says Mittan. Top 5 Hiking Baby Carriers Osprey Poco PremiuThe Osprey Poco Premium has many features, including a sun shade, a hydration pack and removable daypack.

The pack's adjustabilty works well for wearers of many sizes. It does have limits, however, in the size and age of your baby. Your baby must be able to sit up for long periods of time, and some little ones may feel uncomfortable in the pack due to the enclosed design. Deuter Kid Comfort 3The Deuter Kid Comfort 3 offers breathability, a safety harness system for the child and adjustability for a precise fit. The sun roof, hydration pocket and hip pocket mirror add to the feature-rich pack. This pack weighs almost 8 pounds, and once you add gear and your baby, the weight might be too much for long hikes. The carrier works best for babies over 9 months. Kelty Transit 3.0The Kelty Transit 3.0 is a great option for a lightweight frame carrier. This carrier weighs just over 5 pounds. The Transit offers storage for your gear, a water bottle holder, a sun shade, toy loops and a changing pad. It does have a 16 pound minimum weight requirement and it also lacks foot and thigh support for the baby, which may become uncomfortable on longer journeys. 

Phil & Teds EscapeThe Phil & Teds Escape child carrier has many features for its price and won Baby Gear Lab's Editors' Choice award. The carrier includes a sun shade, rain visor, foot stirrups, hydration pocket, changing pad and removable daypack. The carrier adjusts for differently sized adults and babies from 6 months through 3 years. With the sunhood or rain cover on the pack, it might feel confining for the baby. ErgobabyThe Ergobaby soft buckle carrier allows you to wear your baby in four different ways. An organic fabric option and extras are available, including an infant insert, rain cover and teething pad. The carrier works for infants through 40 pounds. For day hiking, McCarthy recommends buckle carriers because they "hold your baby close to your body, which makes for easier maneuvering in tight spaces and keeps your center of gravity in the middle of your body." But buyers beware: Thick padding may cause some babies to feel too warm, and you may need assistance to put the carrier on and adjust it.
