Bird banding is returning to River Bend for one morning only! Retired biology professor and ornithologist Dan Tallman and his wife Erika will band some of the visitor and resident birds found at River Bend. Bird banding is a process in which a harmless, numbered band is applied to the leg or other part of a bird. Information gathered from recovered or recaptured banded birds helps scientists better understand bird behavior, longevity, ranges, and migration patterns. For more information about Dan & Erika Tallman, check out their Bird Blog which is full of fascinating bird and dragonfly photos and information. |
