Upcoming Birding Programs
These programs focus on all feathered flyers, from the returning spring migration to fall bird banding. Grab your binoculars and join KNC researchers and special guests for the following programs and events. Other ways to get involved:
Visit the KNC Banding Barn this fall to see bird banding up close. The Banding Barn is located near KNC Camp; if the banders are not there, they are out checking the nets and will return shortly. Banding is weather dependent and capture at a program is not guaranteed.
All banding, marking, and sampling is being conducted under a federally authorized Bird Banding Permit issued by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Bird Banding Lab.
Bird Banding Up Close
Wednesdays, August 30 – October 25, 8-10 am
The KVBO has banded over 600,000 birds over the past 50 years, and our team will be back at it again this year! Stop out to the Banding Barn near KNC Camp to meet with the research team; if the banders are not there, they are checking the nets and will return shortly. Banding is weather dependent and capture at a program is not guaranteed.
Hummingbird Banding
Fridays, September 1, 8, & 15, 8-10 am
Want to see a Ruby-throated Hummingbird up close? You might get a chance, weather permitting! KVBO banders have banded hundreds of hummingbirds each year since 2008. Please join us at the KNC Banding Barn for a fascinating experience.
