Motus station installed at Pikes Peak will detect tagged birds in area

Submitted by admin on Tue, 11/16/2021 - 10:49

In late October, a Motus Wildlife Tracking System station was installed at Pikes Peak State Park near McGregor, making the site just one of only a handful in Iowa that, through radio telemetry, will be able to detect and record nearby small animals—namely birds—with tags. (Submitted photos)

The setup includes antennas and receivers, which avian ecologist Anna Buckardt Thomas installed with help from Pikes Peak staff.

The station is located on the Pikes Peak State Park shop/office building. “They were looking for somewhere up on a bluff that has a state DNR building they could attach it to, and we’re like right on the river, right on the Mississippi River Flyway, so it worked really well,” said Pikes Peak State Park Manager Matt Tschirgi. “And there’s a pathway here, both east and west, where the trees are somewhat clear, so the antennas are pointed where it would help pick up stuff.”

A map at motus.org notes all the stations. You can click on the individual locations to see what has been detected.

Submitted by admin on Tue, 11/16/2021 - 10:29

Charles (Charlie) John Mason was born in Fonda to Charles Joseph Mason and Cecilia O’Brien Mason on June 20, 1942. He was a gift to the world from the day he was born. At a young age, his family moved to Marquette, where he grew up enjoying nature and the love of family and friends. His strong work ethic was apparent from early on. One of his first jobs was shoveling snow ahead of a train as it passed through Buelah Falls in McGregor. Other jobs included an arborist for Wright Tree service and laborer at the McGregor elevator before he began his beloved profession of being a commercial fisherman.
