Description
Visit Joppa Flats' Bird Banding Station on Parker River National Wildlife Refuge and observe the bird banding process. Mass Audubon scientists will show you how they capture, evaluate, and release migrant songbirds while sharing information about migration and habitat use. Don't miss this rare opportunity--the station operates only during the height of migration in spring (April and May) and fall (September and October) and is weather dependent.
