Bird Banding at the Barn
October 5 @ 8:00 AM
Join ornithologist Dr. Neil Bernstein for a special bird banding program. Be our guest and drop in at the back of Penningroth Barn (6665 Otis Rd) anytime to watch Dr. Bernstein net, band, and release birds from Nature Center property. You’ll get a chance to see the equipment he uses, observe the banding process, and learn about the importance of banding. You’ll also get an up close look at the birds! Children and families are welcome to join in on the fun. Banding is a weather-dependent activity.
While Dr. Bernstein is banding birds in back of the barn, from 10AM-11AM, Joan Schnabel, local raptor educator, will be bringing a couple of live, injured, raptors to the area in front of the barn for people to learn about. Both programs are FREE with no registration required. In the case of inclement weather, this program will be canceled. Please check our website if the weather is questionable.
