Subject: FW: Ohio Bird Banding Association Event at Caesar Creek
Larry,
Can you do me a favor? I am unable to post to the Ohio Ornithological Web
Site from work because of some governmental mumbo jumbo. Can you forward
this message to their WEB site to help us promote this event. Thanks in
advance. We've missed you out at the park and on our annual visit to
Killdeer Plains. Hopefully we'll see you more often with the coming of
spring. We are gearing up for another year of Breeding Bird Atlas. Jim
Just a reminder...
We'd appreciate you helping us spread the word amongst the birders.
Winter Bird Banding
Saturday, March 10, 9:00 am to 2:00 pm The Ohio Bird Banding Association
will
be sponsoring a winter bird banding demonstration in conjunction with the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at the Caesar Creek Visitor Center. This event
is free to the public and will feature bird banding demonstrations using
live
birds. Various trapping methods will be employed to show how birds are
safely
removed, data is gathered and the birds are then released unharmed back into
the wild. Learn about bird migration, ecology, and bird conservation plus
see
wild birds up close. For more information call the Visitor Center,
513-897-1050 or contact Bob Thobaben at 937-382-4739
The following demonstrations will be featured:
1. Bird Banding will be explained & demonstrated using live birds.
2. Three trapping methods will be employed to show how birds are safely
removed from the traps and released unharmed back into the wild. (Mist
Nets,
Bal Chatri trap, and Seth Lowe traps will be on display.) 3. Biometrics
will
be explained and how information is gleaned from the live trapped wild birds
before they are released back into the wild.
4. Bird migration, ecology, and mortality from human and natural causes
will
be explained.
5. Bird conservation will be featured with inforamtion on birding in the
Caesar Creek Spring Valley Area featured.
Thanks,
Jim O'Boyle, Park Ranger
