Junior Audubon - Banding Birds

Saturday, May 28th  Bird Banding with Bob 8am-Noon (FREE but please sign-up for a time in advance.)

Once again we offer a very special opportunity to give kids an up-close encounter with birds. A special banding demonstration will be offered by Bob Welch, local ecologist and retired teacher. Please register in advance. 

Programs are arranged so families can enjoy self-guided bird-themed crafts and games.  A local Audubon expert will be available at the bird viewing window to help people with basic birding & ID tips. 

These programs target ages 6-12 years old but all ages are welcome. Binoculars and ID books will be available to borrow. 

For the banding event, you must register for a time slot. Every half hour, up to 20 people will be welcome in the banding area. We will talk about the birds that we capture, band, and then we will allow the guests to release…
