The Delaware Bay is a hotspot of sorts for spawning horseshoe crabs, and this can be witnessed during May and June during the peak of their spawning season. Their spawning coincides with the movement of ravenous migratory shorebirds along the Atlantic Flyway. When the temperature of the Delaware Bay's shallow,...
This is a guest blog post authored by Sam Merker, research biologist, University of Connecticut, in Storrs, Connecticut. Since our post on American Bittern tracking research in Connecticut was published, we have received more than a few inquiries about how we capture a species that is known for being elusive, secretive,...
In affiliation with Min Huang of Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) and Chris Elphick of the University of Connecticut, in March of 2022, we began fieldwork to tag Connecticut's American Bitterns (AMBI). Gathering information about AMBI's nesting biology, habitat distribution, and migratory behavior is both time-consuming and challenging. However, attaining annual cycle...
My research has focused on using novel telemetry methods to see if we can, for the first time, get a glimpse inside the life of individual hawk owls by monitoring their winter movements and microhabitat preferences in northern Minnesota and southern Manitoba.
In British Columbia, Turkey Vultures occupy the most extreme northwest portion of their broad range in the Americas, and they continue to expand. Gill Radcliffe wanted to learn more, and is using CTT's tech to study the local ecology, migratory movements, and health of Turkey Vultures in the Pacific Northwest.
The growing number of Motus-based projects and increased prevalence of receiver stations are a win-win. As it grows, the network captures ever-increasing amounts of data with high temporal and geographic precision over ever-increasing distances.
In winter 2022-23, Mike Lanzone and Dr. Trish Miller launched a research project in Arkansas. Their primary objective is capturing five Golden Eagles and attaching ES-500 GPS/GSM + Argos Hybrid tracking devices to each one in order to understand the wintering ecology of Golden Eagles in Arkansas.
Questions about the Florida population of Crested Caracaras have led Dr. Joan Morrison to devote more than 30 years of research to understanding the species’ life history, with special focus on the effects of habitat loss.
I’m <checks calendar> a little less than two months into my marketing role here at CTT, and I was fortunate already to have traveled to *another* company-sponsored conference. Yes, I am talking about The Wildlife Society’s 29th Annual Conference, from November 6-10 in Spokane, Washington.
For a newcomer to the world of wildlife telemetry, interacting with raptor researchers at their annual conference allowed me an ideal primer/initiation experience/crash course in this very singular world.
When you travel with David La Puma you are guaranteed to have an incredible time, and you better believe that includes birding, so I knew I was in for a trip of lifetime when asked to join him for the AOS/BC Conference earlier this summer.

The Avian Research and Conservation Institute (ARCI) has been tracking Swallow-tailed Kites since the late 1990’s! ARCI, a non-profit based in Gainesville Florida, conducts research...
Conservation dollars are always limited, but the passion you have for the species you work with is certainly not. From terrapins to rodents, ungulates and birds, the CTT Internet of Wildlife (IoW) leverages a global network of researchers to help bring attention to your focused conservation work. In doing so,...
