Songbird Banding and Migration Ecology Programs

These programs offer detailed information on BSBO's migration studies, provide up close looks at beautiful spring warblers, thrushes, vireos, and other migrants, and share more about the critical stopover habitat that the Lake Erie Marsh Region 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 birding opportunity! 

BSBO is extremely fortunate to be actively constructing a brand new education center thanks to the generous support of our members and donors! This facility will allow us to expand upon our banding programs to make them more robust. We are so excited to begin utilizing this space soon. Until then, please contact us for any questions or concerns related to our bird banding programs.
