Motus & the Science of Tracking Bird Movements
Brian Moldashel
The Motus Wildlife Tracking System is a collaborative global network using automated radio telemetry to track small flying organisms, such as birds, bats, and insects. An initiative of Birds Canada, the program seeks to improve our understanding of the movement ecology of a wide range of species, answering questions related to how organisms move throughout the environment, what habitats they use, and much more. Join Eastern Long Island Audubon Society to learn more about how this fascinating program works, what scientists have already learned from the data collected by it, and how ELIAS is getting involved in the program right here on Long Island.”

Birding 101 or Step One in
a Life-time Hobby
Eileen Schwinn
Are you interested in learning more about one of the fastest growing activities in the US today - Bird Watching! How do you start? What Tools of the Trade do you need? Where do I go to get more information? Please join Eileen Schwinn, an avid and active local birder, on October 5th, for a (hopefully informative and entertaining) presentation. Pick your own title for the evening: Birding 101, Birding for the Beginner, or Step One in a Life-time Hobby. Although the birds in Cuba, Costa Rica, Trinidad/Tobago, Iceland, Germany, Aruba, Washington State, Ohio, California, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Florida, Maine, New York, and New Hampshire have called her to visit over the past 20 years, Eileen stays close to home these days - birding in her yard (89 species and counting), along Dune Road and in many Suffolk County woods, fields, and waterfronts. No matter where you go, birding enriches your travels!. Come and learn how to enjoy it even more.
