SUMMARY:MAPS Bird Banding
DESCRIPTION:Join Highlands Biological Station and the Blue Ridge Bird Observatory for a morning of bird banding as part of the MAPS\, or Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship\, program.\nEstablished at HBS in 2020\, the MAPS bird banding station is part of a larger effort to assess trends in avian demographics across North America. During banding sessions\, trained researchers safely capture birds\, collect important biological data\, and fit each bird with a USGS-issued aluminum band with a unique identification number before release. Data collected may include age\, sex\, feather condition\, wing measurements\, and signs of disease or injury.\n \nVisitors strolling through the Highlands Botanical Garden during morning banding sessions are welcome to observe the process and learn more about the birds that call our campus home. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience real\, ongoing research and see conservation science in action.\nLocation: Highlands Biological Station / Cook Pavilion\n \nCost: Free to observeWeather Note: Bird banding is weather-dependent and may be canceled or rescheduled due to rain\, wind\, or other conditions that could affect bird safety.
