Note: Hummingbird banding will take place from 8–10 AM and 1-3 PM. Licensed banders from our BIRD Program manage the bird banding station and use mist nets and traps to carefully catch, band, and release each hummingbird. Depending on the number of birds and the number of trained volunteers assisting that session, we are happy to answer questions about the birds and banding and discuss data collected and bird banding tools. Kids are welcome!
