Bird Banding Demo with Birds of Urban Baltimore

See birds up close and participate in community science with Birds of Urban Baltimore (B.Ur.B) in collaboration with the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center. Bird banding is the process of catching wild birds, placing identifying bands on them, and releasing them back into the wild.

 Observe conservation research first hand!
 Get an up-close look at wild birds!
 Learn about the ecology and biology of birds, how they are captured, and why banding is important!

BONUS: Come in and look around the museum.

NOTE: Come when you can. Leave when you want. Catching birds is not guaranteed. Banding Demos are weather dependent. They will be cancelled if it is thundering/lightening, raining or the temperatures are over 90 or below 50. Rain date is June 5.
