And they’re off!

19 October 2023

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!
