3rd - Bird Banding Demonstration
10:00 - 11:30 AM at the Observatory
We will offer detailed information on BSBO's migration
studies, provide up close looks at beautiful spring
warblers, thrushes, and vireos and share more about the
amazing passage of these birds as they utilize the
critical stopover habitat that Ohio represents. Basic
bird identification will be included, so bring your
favorite field guide! The Observatory is proud to offer
these educational programs FREE to the public, however,
donations are always welcome and help support all the
Observatory's research and education efforts! Join us
for this unique opportunity at the Observatory
located just inside the entrance to Crane Creek State
Park and Magee Marsh.

Meet

Join
BSBO every Sunday morning April 27th through June 1st,
as we explore birding hotspots such as Magee Marsh and
Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. We’ll start each walk
with a trip around BSBO’s brand new and relatively
unexplored walking trail. Participants can help us
determine what birds are using the marvelous scrub-shrub
habitat that our new walking trail loops through!
We’ve put together a team of BSBO’s best birders to lead
these trips, so don’t miss your opportunity to get in on
some of the best birding in the country. These
lively and educational walks are free to BSBO members
and the public.
