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.

Join us for an evening with Humans & Nature Press's Gavin Van Horn, as we celebrate and discuss their newest book, Sensoria: Attending to the Wonder and Vitality of Nature. This timely volume offers readers new ways of understanding relations in everyday encounters that link our inner and outer awareness - embodied experiences that shape what we see, hear, touch, taste, and smell, and the way these perceptions can help us to attend more closely and respectfully to the lifeworlds of other-than-human creatures. After a presentation, reading, and Q&A, Gavin and other contributors will be on hand to sign books. Registration is required.
The Greenway path along the Little Harpeth River is a prime location to search for resident and migratory birds. Registration required.
