SUMMARY:Virtual Presentation: Tracking Desert Purple Martins with Jennie MacFarland
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday, Jan. 13th, 11am (AZ time)\nJoin us for a fascinating presentation with the Tucson Bird Alliance’s Director of Bird Conservation, Jennie MacFarland, as she explores the cutting-edge tracking technologies used to study desert Purple Martins. From GPS and geolocator tags to advanced sensor systems, you’ll learn how these tools reveal migration routes, habitat use, and surprising behaviors previously impossible to document.\nThis talk will also highlight the broader data collected through these projects—everything from nesting success and food availability to geography-related challenges facing the species. Whether you’re a seasoned birder, a tech enthusiast, or simply curious about how science illuminates the lives of these elusive martins, this deep dive offers an exciting, data-rich look into the future of bird conservation.\nThis virtual event is free to join. Registrants will be emailed a Zoom link prior to the presentation.\nPresenters: Jennie MacFarland (jmacfarland@tucsonbirds.org ( mailto:jmacfarland@tucsonbirds.org ))\nHeader image: Desert Purple Martin by Scott Olmstead\n
