The Sacajawea Audubon Society is teaming up with American Bird Conservancy and Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks to fill in a radio frequency receiving gap between the Yellowstone and Jefferson Rivers. Kevin Ellison, the Northern Prairie Program Manager for American Bird Conservancy, will be there with radio transmitting tags, an antenna mock up, demonstrate real time tracking capabilities and to answer any questions regarding Motus.

Over 70 tipping point species of North American songbirds have faced population declines of 50% or more with trends showing little signs of abatement. The Motus Tracking System is one of the best tools to provide researchers and managers the information they need to identify root causes of decline, and act.

Join us for a cup of coffee, and hear more about this exciting project. For more information go to: https://sacajaweaaudubon.org/project/motus-towers/

Time: 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM
