Future marine scientist? Perhaps! Mr. Burcher here seen staffing the CTT booth at the annual Marine Science Symposium at the Cape May Point Arts and Science Center coordinated by Cape May Whale Watch and Research Center. Who wouldn’t want to learn about transmitters from such a cute kid! Come visit the booth and get one of our sweet stickers too!! https://celltracktech.slack.com/files/UJQTASY0P/F0B767J0K26/img_8540.jpg

This is SO COOL!
Blū+ data on Tr-colored Blackbirds in California. The Southern Sierra Research Station has been working with our tech since 2019 and it's great to see how much information they're able to gather on small - previously untrackable - species. Check out their webpage that gives you an interactive glimpse into the life of this very cool species. https://southernsierraresearch.org/testing-new-blu-tags-results/

Back on August 4, 2025 we posted about purchasing a new type of wildlife tag that can be detected by cell phones and other IoT devices (think AirTags) as they travel. In addition, they are detectable by both the increasing numbers of Motus stations equipped to detect relatively new 2.4 GHz tags as w...

At Cellular Tracking Technologies, we’ve always believed that better data leads to better conservation.
Our SensorStation receivers are now operating on NexSens buoys offshore New Jersey as part of the NJDEP Research and Monitoring Initiative. Equipped for dual-frequency detection, they’re logging movements of tagged birds and bats in an environment that’s been a black box for far too long.
This work helps connect offshore detections to the broader Motus network, giving researchers and resource managers the context they need—whether it’s a quick fly-through or active foraging.
We build telemetry that works where it counts. Proud to contribute to science that supports both wildlife and responsible offshore energy development.

We can’t protect what we don’t understand.

This excellent article highlights the work of Michael Lanzone, Trish Miller, and collaborators studying eastern golden eagles through tracking and field research. Following birds like Athena and Gwaihir is helping researchers better understand migration, nesting, winter ecology, and the challenges these birds face across a human-dominated landscape.

It’s a powerful example of how field science and tracking technology can work together to support conservation.

There's a special story unfolding at Bernheim Forest and Arboretum in Kentucky, where eastern golden eagles have made their winter home. Scientists have been tracking golden eagles since the 1970s, but the first known pair to be tracked simultaneously in eastern North America was at Bernheim.
