Eastern Whip-poor-will outfitted with VHF nanotags during the 2023 pilot field season are on the move! Beginning in mid to late September, we started seeing detections of marked birds at motus receiver stations throughout the eastern and midwestern United States. One bird, tagged in Kennebunk, Maine was last detected just a few hundred feet north of Rio Grande in eastern Texas last week. We look forward to reviewing more detections in the weeks and months ahead!

Check out where our birds have been detected on the MOTUS website!
