Using δ2H stable isotope analysis to identify the origin of a first winter Red-breasted Goose Branta ruficollis caught in Norway

We analysed the stable isotope of hydrogen (δ2H) in first generation median wing covert feathers sampled from a free-flying first winter Red-breasted Goose Branta ruficollis caught in Storøya, Norway in late April 2019. The highly depleted δ2H values corresponded to those predicted if the bird had g...
