It was fairly "known" that some amazing things were happening in the bird world - at night - in Cape May in recent years...... With a notable publication our earlier this year detailing their work:

==============
Long story short, I didn't think this type of equipment was in the cards for me (expensive) - but the potential to learn more about bird movements & migration was just too much to bear! So as of a few days ago, I've found a way to make it work - and I'm really looking forward to putting it to use in the coming months.
