Join the Vancouver Audubon at their monthly meeting to hear Vanessa Loverti share exciting results from Motus projects in Washington, revealing how shorebirds are connected across the entire flyway—from their breeding grounds to their wintering sites.

New data sheds light on migration timing, stopover sites, and the incredible distances shorebirds travel. Learn why this information is vital for restoring and protecting their habitats.

Vanessa is a Regional Shorebird Coordinator with US Fish and Wildlife Pacific Region. For over 17 years, Vanessa has dedicated her career to the conservation of migratory birds, with a special passion for shorebirds. Based in the Pacific Northwest, she collaborates with partners across the flyway to protect these remarkable travelers through research, habitat management, and cutting-edge tools like the Motus Wildlife Tracking System.
