We invite homeschool families to join us for our annual Bird Banding field trip. Participants should expect each activity to largely take place outside and a parent or guardian should plan to stay with their child(ren) through the duration of the program. There's no better time and place to learn about the science of studying bird migratory patterns than joining in on a bird banding station visit! Join us as we open the nets for the Fall 2026 season aiming to capture and band different migratory songbirds. You can expect to visit the bird banding station, join us on a short walk to seek birds in their habitats and to learn about the challenges birds face in their migratory journey. Accessibility Information: Handicap parking is available at the meeting location along with accessible restrooms. Some of this program may include slow-paced walking along flat gravel or dirt paths.
