Thermal imaging used to track birds flying at night
Original: Moment of Science: Using thermal imaging to track birds flying by night
A local science segment explains how researchers use thermal imaging cameras to detect and track birds migrating at night, when most songbird migration happens and birds are hard to observe visually. The heat signatures allow scientists to count and follow flocks in darkness, aiding research on migration routes and bird conservation.
Why now: Interest in how new technology is improving the study of nocturnal bird migration
