SPRING BIRD BANDING ON DAUPHIN ISLAND

Learn about birds in a fun and engaging way at this public bird banding event on Wednesday, April 8, through Sunday, April 12, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Goat Tree Reserve on Dauphin Island. This FREE event is co-hosted by Banding Coalition of the Americas and Dauphin Island Bird Sanctuaries. Not only will participants have the opportunity to get an up-close look at a wide range of native and migratory birds, they will also be able to observe and learn about the process of bird banding and why it’s important to avian conservation efforts. They will also learn about DIBS's important role in conserving migratory bird habitat on Dauphin Island and how to help. A crew of licensed banders and experienced volunteers will share life history information about each species and answer any questions. Photos are encouraged. For more information, visit www.bandingcoalition.org/dauphin-island-bird-banding.
