On Friday, March 20th from 8:30–11:00am, join us for a special opportunity to observe biologists safely mist netting and banding birds on the grounds surrounding Chinsegut Conservation Center. Get an up-close look at how researchers collect important data that contributes to conservation and a better understanding of bird populations. Our focus will be on migrating songbirds passing through this spring, but we may observe non-migratory species as well!This exciting program is open to the public and serves as a fun prelude to our Welcome Back Songbirds Festival, celebrating the incredible feat of spring migration. Participants are welcome to join us as early as 8:30am and can come and go as they please until mist nets are shut down at 11:00am. Please note: While we will be strategic in our net placement, we cannot predict the frequency or amount of birds that will come into contact with the nets, so be ready for periods of quiet or excitement!
