046 - Field Trip to the Fall Bird Banding Station
The epic journey of bird migrations is one of the most remarkable phenomenon in our natural world. Each fall, here in Connected Lakes State Park, a bird banding station (one of thousands around the world) is set up to capture, band, and release migratory songbirds that pass through the Grand Valley. Much of what we know about migration comes from the tiny aluminum anklets banded birds wear on their travels. You will witness migration in a new way with a visit to the bird banding station. We will be up close to these wild birds as a bird biologist takes us through the process of capture, banding, and release, and how bird banding aids in deep scientific research and bird conservation. You might even have the opportunity to hold and release one...it's magical.
