Bird Banding Event in Vermont-a story in photos

The Vermont Center for Ecostudies (VCE) and the Montshire Museum of Science in Norwich, Vermont, are collaborating to make this important work possible. Kent McFarland from VCE is the coordinator/supervisor. He has kindly invited people to participate and learn, as he is a certified Bird Bander. (Don't try this at home-it is not legal unless you are certified!) I had a wonderful time and hope to go back for more soon. Click on the links below to visit these organizations.(In a separate window).
