Greetings all,
For those with an interest, WGBH has just published a terrific TV, radio and print story on the Winter Crow Roost in Lawrence, MA.
Following a live ZOOM interview with David Sibley, the reporter, Craig LeMoult, was alerted to a question and answer exchange about the winter roost and was eager to learn more. He made multiple visits to Lawrence and we invited him to learn more about a fascinating research project sponsored by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
The USACE funded a project using advanced 3D imaging technology to track the flight movements of crows and potentially prevent bird strikes on aircraft. Dale Fried, CEO of 3DEO, leads the research. Using Geiger-mode LIDAR, the team monitors the crows' movements, providing valuable data for a range of potential military applications.
