Last fall we GPS-tagged a young saw-whet owl at Cape May Point. By April she was in Downeast Maine. A Long-eared Owl we tagged flew 141 miles in about 4 hours one April night, picked up by phones along the way. Help tag this year's owls: capemayowls.org/give #owls

3/ The goal is $15,000: 5 GPS backpacks, 9 transmitter leg bands, a year of data for each, and new nets. The Cape May Owl Project is independent and funded by donors and partners, including @ConSciGlobal and @nature_NJ.
4/ Last season's owls turned up in Maine, New Hampshire, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Quebec. Banding starts this month. Where will this year's go? capemayowls.org/give

A Northern Waterthrush tagged w/ #MotusWTS compatible BlūBat tag left after sunset on Sep 11. Two weeks later it was in Colombia, incl. trekking over ~800 km of open sea. 3,082 km so far! Check out the video for more details. With @NJAudubon @cmbobirds @nature_NJ #BirdMigration
3/ Last detected in Jamaica before dawn on Sep 24. Next detection: over Barranquilla, Colombia at 7:17 PM on Sep 25. At its first-night pace, that crossing is about 18 hours of nonstop flight.
2/ It spent 11 days refueling at The Nature Conservancy's South Cape May Meadows Preserve first. We logged 101 detections as it moved around the preserve.
Super exciting stuff coming from #ProjectMonarch ! This collaboration, forged by the @cmpsciencecentr and @CellTrackTech and now over 70 collaborators - is uncovering the mysteries of monarch migration at an unprecedented level of detail! Download the app and follow along live!

THIS IS SO CRAZY COOL!!! Good luck Dr Gerlach- we do hope these BlūMorpho tags help you better uncover the mysteries of Partula dispersal! #firsttimeweveeversaidthat #molluskmondayonwednesday #whatisgoingonhere #crazytelemetry
2026 Partula reintroductions are underway. Today we tried something new: release of radio-tagged Partula tohiveana, bred at @ZooSchwerin. The tiny tags made by @CellTrackTech make it possible, but we wont know for a few days if they help us solve the mystery of Partula dispersal
V2 is OUT NOW in the iOS App Store and Google Play Store - go download the update now for the best monarch tracking experience! @cmpsciencecentr
