Tracking Tech Boosts Local Bird Conservation

Avian Conservation Center of Appalachia (ACCA) to Implement New Technology for Bird Tracking

The Avian Conservation Center of Appalachia (ACCA) has been awarded a radio tower from Cellular Tracking Technologies in a move that will revolutionize the way they track and monitor rehabilitating birds. With small radio transmitters attached to released birds, valuable migration data and population information will now be relayed to towers around the world. This international effort by researchers aims to improve treatment methods and gain a better understanding of how birds are faring in the wild.
