📡 #MCFT2 tags are helping track humpbacks in Brazil! 🐳

@FaunaLabs' Dave Haas has designed bio-sensors that, combined with #MCFT2 VHF tags, are suction-cupped to whales to collect short-term health & behaviour data.💡

🦃 How many poults (baby turkeys) can you spot?

This 🍁 #Thanksgiving, we’re celebrating wild turkeys.

Biologists at the Wisconsin DNR use #PinPointIridium GPS transmitters to track 🐣 nests,🐤 broods, & 📍movements.

A stunning view of the black, white and yellow head of a Motus-tagged Golden-winged Warbler as it looks straight into the camera. YOu can also see the tail and the gold patch on the wing.

Irola The research infographic with title Wetter and more forested non-breeding areas result in later departures but a faster spring migraion in Vermivora chrysoptera (Golden-winged Warbler), inmcluded are two graphs and a map that shows travel from Costa Rica to locations just souht of the Great Lakes and to Ontario. Two happy scientists and one Golden-winged Warbler. The warbler is newly accessorized with a Motus tagg.

Motus is a collaborative research network that allows researchers to understand the ecology of migratory birds. The tags use radio telemetry to determine the location of tagged individuals, where this research can greatly contribute to understanding avian migratory patterns and behaviours.

We’ve started Motus tagging Jack Snipe this week as a part of the Motus Tracking Project! Last week, 3 Jack Snipe were tagged in the @ldvnnr.bsky.social , and now we have captured and tagged an individual here at Spurn!

Good piece about the Motus network.

I think there's a real opportunity for bird clubs to set up stations - the cost is <$2000. You can use the map here to see what coverage looks like where you are:

Great to team up with @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social in a joint Motus Tracking Project on Jack Snipe (supported by
@britishbirds.bsky.social). The first birds were tagged in the #LDV last night and we're now looking forward to seeing what results this project unearths @naturalengland.bsky.social
