Songbird Banding and Migration Ecology Programs

Held on many weekends during spring and fall migration, 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! 

To ensure the health and safety of all, BSBO's education and outreach activities are postponed until further notice. ​We will be providing activities that you and your family can enjoy in the comfort and safety of your own home. Please CLICK HERE to view those pages.

For more information, please contact BSBO at (419) 898-4070 or email Education Director Becca Mathews at beccamathews@bsbo.org.
