The Motus Wildlife Tracking Network has revolutionized scientific knowledge about animal migration since 2014, using automated radio telemetry to track movements across more than 2,270 receiving stations around the globe. One such station is located in Virginia, where the fast-declining Rusty Blackbird is known to spend the nonbreeding season. Watch this video to learn more about the species and the role that Motus plays in its conservation.
Birds Canada oversees the global Motus network, while American Bird Conservancy (ABC) is guiding the expansion of Motus efforts in the U.S. Since 2023, ABC has installed or directly supported the installation of 122 Motus stations in 20 states or territories and three countries.
