Dear {{FirstName or 'Friend'}},
Happy fall to each of you! Cool weather and shorter days mean migratory birds are making their annual trips south. We’ve been seeing lots of species moving through the forest over the last few weeks, including thrushes, warblers, vireos and more.
This is Jen Tyrrell, Audubon South Carolina’s Engagement Manager and Master Bird Bander, and I’ve been working diligently with my colleagues at the Beidler Forest Audubon Center to learn more about the birds migrating through the sanctuary. That research took a big step forward over the last month as we’ve partnered with the Dorchester County Career and Technology Center to install a Motus wildlife tracking tower on their campus just a few miles from Beidler Forest.
Motus, the Latin word for movement, has become an essential tool in wildlife migration tracking over the last decade. Audubon South Carolina has invested in working with partners to build a network of these new tracking towers, which use an old form of technology to track migrating birds, bats, insects, and more. We’re excited to work with the Dorchester County School District to hopefully detect birds and other wildlife migrating through Beidler Forest and the surrounding community.
We invite you to support this project and the conservation of migratory birds in South Carolina by donating today!
