April Bird-Banding
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 04/09/2022
Bird banding is the process of catching wild birds; identifying their species, relative age, and sex (if possible); and then putting a small, light aluminum band with a unique serial number around one of their legs.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
Our Director of Conservation, Steve Ricker, is federally licensed and all of our data is uploaded into a federal database. This information helps us know that our protected habitats are continuing to provide high-quality water, food, and shelter for our wonderful wildlife. It also helps us track bird migration when birds are recaptured. If we capture a bird that already has a band around its leg, we can find out where it was initially banded using the federal database.
