Bird Banding with Audubon

The Rhode Island Land Trust Council is posting this event on behalf of the Audubon Society of Rhode Island. For this event, ASRI requires that you register directly with them. Registration on Meetup does not confirm your attendance. Please register here!

Learn more about birds by observing bird banding, where experts capture, band, measure, and release songbirds. Birds will be gently removed from tall “mist nets” set in Audubon’s shrubby habitats. The techniques of identifying, measuring, weighing, and banding the birds will be demonstrated before they are released. The migratory habits and life history of each captured species will be discussed. Bring a camera and binoculars. Please register early.
