Bird Banding
May 7, 2023 @ 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Wood Lake is the layover spot of choice for dozens of migrating bird species and numerous year-round residents as well. As part of a nationwide research project, nature center staff will safely mark these birds with an aluminum band to track their movements over their lifetime. The goal is to re-capture the birds; in 2021, a red-winged blackbird that had been banded 5 years earlier was re-caught at Wood Lake! Join us to see what species we will catch this spring. $5/person, free for members
