Bird Tracker’s Apprentice

Saturday, May 30, 2015
10:00 am - 11:30 am

Kids got to learn how conservationists track birds and other wildlife at the Bronx Zoo using wearable technology. Bedford Audubon Society engineer Janelle Robbins led instruction in how radio telemetry and geolocators work, what information they provide about birds, and how we use this data to protect them. Apprentices also got to come up with their own recommendations to help birds survive and thrive.

This event is supported by the Bezos Family Foundation. 

This program was produced in collaboration with the the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Bronx Zoo.
