About the Event
Come out and visit the Beaverhill Bird Observatory (BBO), Canada’s second oldest bird banding and research station, for an exclusive experience involving bird research and conservation. During our activity, we will be taking birds which have been caught in a net and attaching bird bands to their legs. Meanwhile, the scientists will be teaching us about bird species and habits, and the purpose of banding birds.
There is a limit of twenty participants for this field trip, so please book early.
Arrival Time
You may arrive at any point during the 6 hours of banding (5:15 am - 11:00 am) , however, the earlier you arrive, the greater your chances are of seeing birds being banded as songbirds are most active in the first couple hours after sunrise. Sunrise in late May happens at around 5:19 am. After 11:00 am, nets will close and the event ends, though you are…
