During the past three years, Cayuga Bird Club in Ithaca, NY, has established two Motus receiving stations that contribute to the array for the southern Central New York region. Club member Diane Morton will explain the technology, its benefits, and the process of becoming part of the Motus community. Diane is past president and current director of Cayuga Bird Club. She is retired from Cornell University's Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, where she was a senior research associate. Along with her husband Ken Kemphues, she enjoys leading birding field trips and traveling to see birds. One of their recent memorable adventures took them to Morocco, where they birded in the mountains, plains, Sahara Desert, and Atlantic coast of this beautiful country. |
