[cobirds] Congrats to the CFO board. Motus receiving stations are fantastic.

Hi

Congratulations to the CFO board members for organizing the Colorado Birding Challenge. Raising more than $35,000 to contribute to the Bird Conservancy so they can build, install, and operate  Motus receiving stations. There are about 1000 Motus stations from the Arctic to southern South American, tracking vital migration trends for migrating birds. There are numerous Motus stations in the Northeast and the information being gathered so far is astounding. This is a great tool for revealing where the pitfalls are for long distance migrating birds. Now thanks to the CFO and Bird Conservancy we'll also have Motus tracking systems in the Rockies.
