All are welcome to our in-person Program & Meeting!This March, we are excited to have Vanessa Loverti speaking about the MOTUS Network and Tracking Bird Migration. Vanessa is a Shorebird Biologist for the US Fish and Wildlife Service where she works tracking the movements and habitats of shorebirds.
Every year, millions of birds migrate up and down the Pacific Flyway, yet there are still huge information gaps about how these birds use estuaries, beaches, and coastal wetlands throughout their lifecycle. MOTUS is a global research network that uses automated radio telemetry to study the movements of birds, bats, and large insects with tiny, digitally encoded tags. The information gathered through Motus provides ecological insight of a bird’s demanding and delicate migration journey. In turn, this helps scientists identify key factors for survival such as healthy stopover sites with critical habitat and food resources which birds need to rest and refuel.
