Bird Banding

Join GCBO for our monthly banding event! Its a fun, free event for the whole family!
If you've never been to one of our bird banding sessions, here's the scoop: Birds are captured for banding in very fine nylon nets and then weighed and measured and their species, sex, and age are recorded. Each is fitted with an aluminum leg band with a unique number and released unharmed. If the bird is captured again, the band provides the link to retrieve this history, which then provides important information on the routes used by migrating birds, their longevity, and general physical condition.
The purpose of the project is to establish baseline data for the GCBO property on both resident and migratory bird populations. It also gives us all a really cool close up view of birds!
We hope to see you then!
