The Motus Wildlife Tracking System (Motus) is a network of automated radio telemetry stations that offers an effective method to explore animal movement. Join Avian Ecologist, Matt Webb, to learn more about how Bird Conservancy of the Rockies is developing a network of Motus stations and tagging birds across the Great Plains and Chihuahuan Desert to study the movement behavior of grassland birds. This network will allow researchers to gain a new understanding of how grassland birds move throughout their full annual cycle.
