Tracking Birds with Motus

We conduct a variety of surveys at Trinity River Audubon Center, including vegetation monitoring, bioblitzes, and bird surveys. One of our passive bird surveys onsite is with the help of our Motus tower. The Motus Wildlife Tracking System is an international network that tracks migratory animals to better understand their ecology and conservation needs. Trinity River Audubon Center recently installed a Motus Tower to track migratory birds utilizing the various habitats at our center.  

You can track the different tagged species our tower detects here. Click on the "Tag Deployment" item you would like to explore, scroll down, and then click "a map" to see the actual path of the bird!
