At 7:00 PM on Tuesday March 10, 2020, in the Mayer Room of the Howe Library in Hanover, NH, Dr. Carol Foss of New Hampshire Audubon will be speaking on "Motus: A New Revolution in Migration Research". This free program is open to the public and has been arranged by the Mascoma Chapter of NH Audubon.

The Motus Wildlife Tracking System is an array of radio telemetry stations that track the movements of birds and other small animals fitted with small radio transmitters (nanotags). Gathering signals sent by these transmitters are receiving stations operating 24/7/365. Scientists can use the data collected from the systems many, disparate sites to track the movements of bird populations across vast stretches of landscape running to thousands of miles. Dr. Carol Foss, Senior Advisor for Science and Policy at NH Audubon, will provide an overview of the Motus system, what we are learning from it, efforts underway to expand the network in the Northeast, and how interested citizens can get involved.
