What is Motus?

Motus is a global group of researchers working together to track how birds, bats, and insects move. These small animals wear tiny electronic tags that send signals to stations set up all over the world. This technology helps scientists learn exactly where animals go, giving us the tools we need to better protect nature and wildlife.

The Long Island Game Farm has a new way to help animals using a Motus tower. This tower acts like a giant ear that listens for "pings" from tiny electronic tags worn by birds, bats, and even butterflies. When one of these animals flies near the park, the tower picks up its signal and sends the information to a computer. This helps scientists see exactly where the animals are traveling, where they stop to rest, and how we can keep their homes safe on Long Island.

We invite you to join us on May 2, 2026, for our "Wonder of Wings" event! This is the official day we show the tower to the public and explain how it works. You will get to see how this technology helps us protect our local wildlife by showing us which areas of Long Island are most important for animals to survive. It is a great chance to learn how we are working together to keep our birds and insects flying high for years to come. Find out more at https://motus.org/
