With the spring migration banding season now behind us, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on this past season and share some of the preliminary numbers with you. Every spring banding season is a monumental task, but this was our first spring back in full operation since 2019, and we would not have been able to resume this important research without the help and support of numerous individuals and organizations.
We would like to thank our dedicated group of volunteers and seasonal techs that put all their effort into ensuring a successful banding operation; for both data quality and bird safety. We couldn't do it without all your support! We would also like to thank Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge for their continued support of this project (both in research and housing for techs) and Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station and FirstEnergy Corp. for preserving and allowing access to this incredible habitat.
