Another Motus tower is live! Earlier this year, SSRS staff installed a new tower at Honey Lake Wildlife Area in Lassen County, CA.

The first bird detected was a Wilson’s phalarope originally tagged near Doris, CA in August 2024! As you can see in the map, the same bird has traveled across the west!
