Why Do We “Band” Birds?
Have you ever wondered why scientists band birds and how this fascinating practice helps us understand their incredible journeys? Join us for "Why We ‘Band’ Birds" with Meredith McBurney, an engaging talk that will uncover the science and stories behind bird banding.
Date: Tuesday, January 28, 2025
Time: 7:15 PM – 8:45 PM
Location (Hybrid): Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder (5001 Pennsylvania Ave, Boulder, CO 80303) Or Online info at (https://www.boulderaudubon.org/all-events)
Meredith will take us through the evolving world of bird banding — from the basics of tagging the birds with numbered bands, to cutting edge technologies like automated radio telemetry and genomics. She will share information about what Bird Conservancy of the Rockies and partner organizations are learning that will help us be more successful at conserving birds.
