Join ornithologist Dr. Neil Bernstein at Amazing Space for a special bird banding program.
Be our guest and drop in anytime to watch Dr. Bernstein net, band, and release birds from Nature Center property. You’ll get a chance to see the equipment he uses, observe the banding process, and learn about the importance of banding.
You’ll also get an up close look at the birds!
Children and families are welcome to join in on the fun. Banding is a weather-dependent activity.
All banding, marking, and sampling is being conducted under a federally authorized Bird Banding Permit issued by the U.S. Geological Survey.
This program is free and open to the public with no registration required. Free will donations to the Nature Center are welcome.
