Bird Banding September 18, 2011

Help capture and release wild birds for this banding research program. Hold in your hand cardinals, chickadees, robins, and more as they are released. The birds are measured, weighed, examined for fat and other health indicators, aged and sexed (if possible), fitted with a light-weight band with a unique number on it and then released. Springbook's bird banding project is one of the longest, and continual bird banding projects in Minnesota.
