A technology to ignore birds on radar ended up being useful to study and conserve them.

To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:
Radar aeroecology - the use of radar to study airborne life, like birds, bats, and bugs
Radar ornithology - the use of radar to study birds, especially bird migration
Dual-polarization radar - radar that transmits and receives waves in both a horizontal and vertical orientation, giving a better idea of a targets size, shape, and variety.
Doppler effect - a change in a waves frequency in relation to whatever is observing it, such as a radar, but also your ears (its the reason a sound like an ambulance siren changes as it gets closer or further away from you).
