The Long Island Game Farm has a new way to help animals using a Motus tower. This tower acts like a giant ear that listens for "pings" from tiny electronic tags worn by birds, bats, and even butterflies. When one of these animals flies near the park, the tower picks up its signal and sends the information to a computer. This helps scientists see exactly where the animals are traveling, where they stop to rest, and how we can keep their homes safe on Long Island.This is the official day we show the tower to the public and explain how it works. There will be a full day of bird themed programs for kids and adults including talks by renowned experts in the field, Woodland Trail bird walks, music and dance performance, crafts, and more.
