How do you track an animal that weighs 0.5g?
With #WildlifeTech that weighs almost nothing at all.
The #BlūMorpho is the smallest wildlife transmitter ever deployed on a #MonarchButterfly built in Cape May, NJ.
Tiny tag, huge leap for migration science.
#ScienceInMotion #WildlifeConservation
A tiny black wildlife transmitter with a thin wire antenna sits on a wooden tabletop next to the tip of a black ballpoint pen, showing how small the device is by comparison.

A scientific milestone once considered impossible.
Huge gratitude to all of our partners from 2023 to today: #CMPASC, #MotusWTS, @birdscanada.bsky.social, @xercessociety.bsky.social and the incredible community of researchers who made this dream real. We've only just begun! 🦋

From rain to starlight; an engaging plenary to a night in the Costa Rican highlands with Ernesto Carman and the Unspotted Saw-whet Owl. Science, persistence, and conservation at their best. We're all excited for what’s ahead. #RRF2025 #RaptorResearch #WildlifeTech #CostaRica 🦉🪶🇨🇷
Ernesto Carman stands at a podium holding a microphone while delivering his plenary presentation at the Raptor Research Foundation conference in San José, Costa Rica. A wide view of Ernesto Carman presenting his talk, “Spotting the Unspottable: Discovering the secrets of a highland phantom,” at the Raptor Research Foundation conference, with the talk title projected beside him. A researcher holds out a small Unspotted Saw-whet Owl just before release, the bird’s wings slightly open and the forest fading into the darkness behind. A researcher carefully attaches a small metal band to the leg of an Unspotted Saw-whet Owl using red-handled pliers, part of a late-night field study on this elusive species.

Hawks, swifts & hummers—Costa Rica in motion. Broad-winged Hawks lifting with 100s of White-collared Swifts; Volcano, Scintillant & Lesser Violetears jousting over flowers near Poás. Back in San José for the #RRF2025 conference and so stoked! #BirdMigration #CostaRica
Two field biologists smiling on a hanging bridge deep in the Costa Rican cloud forest, with lush green foliage surrounding them. Distant view of Poás Volcano framed by purple wildflowers. A Blue-and-gold Tanager perched on a mossy log, feeding on tropical fruit.

Heading to Costa Rica for #RRF2025! Had to leave Cape May at 2:30am to stay ahead of the nor’easter bearing down on the region. Fingers crossed we get out of Newark and find a way around this storm! #RaptorConservation #RaptorResearch #BirbsRule #Ornithology #PuraVida

In Costa Rica for the Raptor Research Foundation conference 🇨🇷 and already speechless — Mike & Trish joined the Talamanca Hawk Watch where 2–4 K raptors ride each thermal south.
Migration, family, and science all in one view.

A group of field biologists and visitors to the Talamanca Hawk Watch, stand on a wooden observation deck overlooking lush Costa Rican forest, binoculars and scopes ready for migrating raptors overhead. Mike Lanzone and Trish Miller smiling with a sweeping forest and coastline behind them, taken during a day of observing massive raptor migration. The main hawk watch platform with chairs, scopes, and a blue tarp canopy, surrounded by tropical forest and distant ocean views.

Richard Holland presenting in the Migration I session, on how birds use magnetic cues associated with direction finding to locate their position; FASCINATING! #EOU2025 #Bangor #Wales
Richard Holland speaks at a lecture hall podium during the Migration I session, with a slide projected behind him titled “True Navigation: map and compass needed.” The slide shows maps of bird migration routes in Europe and North America alongside tracking data images, while the audience watches attentively.

Will Cresswell delivers an excellent plenary talk at the 15th European Ornithologists' Congress in Bangor, Wales #EOU2025. Oh and he's a bang-on doppelgänger for Edward Norton.
Will Cresswell stands at the front of a large lecture hall at Bangor University, delivering a plenary talk. A projected slide behind him shows photos of birds and a bulleted list about migration traits, while the audience looks on.

Some excellent talks about the effect of light pollution on birds at #EOU2025 European Ornithologists' Congress in Bangor, Wales.
A woman in a patterned white dress stands at a lectern in a lecture hall, speaking in front of a projected slide that reads “THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION – LET’S STAY IN TOUCH” with QR codes and social media icons. A man in a gray t-shirt presents at the same lectern, with a slide showing silhouettes of European nightjars in flight against a red sunset background. A person with short hair gives a talk at the lectern, with a slide titled “Darker Sky – umbrella project” outlining methods and cross-border collaboration to reduce light pollution.

Marc Illa presenting at the 2025 Migrant Landbird Study Group meeting, prior to the 15th European Ornithologists' Congress, in Bangor, Wales. Marc was in Cape May back in 2018, the inaugural year of the Cape May Stopover Project, and it's great to see what he has been up to. #EOU2025

@celltracktech.bsky.social 's VP of Sales, Marketing and Customer Support spent the early morning hours banding Purple Martins at the Cape May Point State Park. "We're still using traditional bands and field-readable auxiliary markers, but next year I hope to use some of the BlūSeries tags!" -David
Here is the alt text for this image: **Alt text:** Dr. David La Puma sits at a table during early morning light, banding a Purple Martin chick. He wears a blue shirt and a gray “Cellular Tracking Technologies” hat, smiling slightly as he uses pliers to apply a silver USGS band to the bird’s leg. A strand of purple field-readable auxiliary bands, elastic loops, and wood shavings are on the table in front of him. Behind him is a black Honda with a New Jersey license plate, and the sky glows with soft golden hues.

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦 to neighbors to the north. Here's a Kirtland's Warbler, one of the many species who know no borders, and could care less about political flexing. He flexes only to find a mate and continue the lineage of the Kirtland's Warblers that came before him...
