The Queens County Bird Club will hold its next meeting via Zoom on Wednesday,
December 15, 2021 at 7:30 pm.
The presentation will be “Experimental bird migration research using the Motus
Wildlife Tracking System” by Dr. Christopher Guglielmo.
Description of presentation:
The Motus Wildlife Tracking System is a grassroots, cooperative project
that uses automated radio receiving towers deployed at large spatial scales to
track the movements of migratory animals. In addition to its potential to
increase our understanding of migration routes, timing, and survival, Motus has
created new opportunities for researchers to conduct experimental studies to
reveal the basic physiological and behavioural mechanisms underlying migration.
Chris Guglielmo, professor of biology and co-director of the Advanced
Facility for Avian Research at the University of Western Ontario, will present
research from his lab and others that explores the effects of factors like
hormones, environmental contaminants, and avian malaria on songbird migration.
Zoom registration link is on the home page of www.qcbirdclub.org

Hope to “see" you then.
