If you're interested in learning more about bird banding, or would like
to volunteer to help with a field study, please contact any of the site
coordinators listed below. Additionally, many banders welcome friends,
family, small groups of students, or study groups to their banding
research stations. Check out the list below to find out whose
banding in or near your area.
You need not have any experience to assist in a banding
project—there are plenty of tasks that you can help with such as setting up nets
and recording data. Other skills can be acquired over time and with the
proper supervision.
If you are interested in volunteering, you will learn all the skills
necessary when you visit a station. Remember, if it were
not for you, our volunteers, bird banding would not be a successful or an
effective tool in the preservation of and research of our avian friends. Volunteer today!
