Join us for bird banding at our long-term Warner Park Nature Center banding station, on-going since 1982. Observe our trained and federally licensed bird researchers and volunteers capture, identify, measure, band (with a unique numbered aluminum leg band), and release wild birds. The data collected informs our understanding of bird populations, migration, and the importance of Warner Parks for birds.

Each year in August and September, hummingbirds from the eastern United States migrate down to Mexico and Central America where they will spend the winter before heading back north in the spring. Started in 2002, our hummingbird banding research focuses on the health, timing, and population dynamics of migrating hummingbirds. Join us during a banding session to observe the banding process and learn all about hummingbirds.
