Kyle G. Horton studies bird migration using tools like weather radar, acoustic monitoring of nocturnal flight calls, and citizen-science data (e.g., eBird) to understand when, where, and how birds move through the atmosphere. His work examines how weather, artificial light at night, urban and agricultural landscapes, and seasonal timing (phenology) affect migratory birds, with applications for conservation such as reducing bird-window collisions and identifying priority habitat areas.
