Tracking the Wild in Flight
Join the Redwood Region Audubon Society on Thursday, May 21, at 7:00 p.m. for a presentation entitled “Tracking the Wild in Flight” by Dr. Frank Fogarty. Dr. Fogarty will tell us 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 two around Humboldt Bay. Dr. Frank 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. Programs are held at the Six Rivers Masonic Lodge, 251 Bayside Road, Arcata. Drinks and goodies are served at 7:00 p.m., the program begins at 7:30. You can also find it on Zoom—go to rras.org for the link.
