Join Audubon to witness bird banding, where experts capture, band, measure and release songbirds in order to record their movements. Birds will be gently removed from tall “mist nets” set in Audubon’s shrubby habitats. The techniques of identifying, measuring, weighing, and banding the birds will be demonstrated before they are released. The migratory habits and life history of each captured species will be discussed.
Bring a camera and binoculars. This special program is appropriate for ages 6 and up.

Program Fee: $8/member adult, $4/member child; $12/non-member adult, $6/non-member child. Ages: 6+. Register online through the events calendar at this link. Note: indicating attendance on Meetup or Facebook does not reserve your spot. Don’t be disappointed, please register early with ASRI. Last possible date to register is August 12th by 5pm.
