Friday Night at the Refuge

Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge

Come for a walk along the Shorebird Loop during the evening hours. At 7:00 p.m. at the Visitor Center, join Dr. Frank Fogarty for a presentation about the Motus network, a collaborative, worldwide effort to better understand wildlife movement. To date, it has been used in 34 countries to track the movement of more than 400 species using over 2400 stations, including one at Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Fogarty will discuss some of the highlights of the Motus program, its local application here in the Humboldt Bay region, and his lab’s work using it to better understand Lewis’s Woodpecker (Melanerpes lewis) homerange and migration between California and Oregon.

Dr. Frank Fogarty is an Assistant Professor of Applied Avian Ecology in the Wildlife Department at Cal Poly Humboldt. His lab studies how birds and bird communities respond to human activity, restoration, and potential disturbances. Much of his recent work has focused on Lewis’s Woodpecker (Melanerpes lewis) ecology, including their migration and responses to wildfire and timber harvest.
