This is an invitation to all birders to visit the Grange Insurance Audubon Center Migration Bird Banding Station. This is a great opportunity to see fall warblers in hand and learn the tricky field marks, while collect valuable to data to aid in our research to quantify avian response to habitat restoration based in migratory birds' foraging needs.

Currently, the station runs Tues and Thursdays and every other Saturday, beginning the  Sept, 25th.

We meet at 6:30 AM at the center garage, nets are up by 7:00 Am and birds are processed near the west side of the center below the Mulberry tree. Viewing is allowed on the mulberry deck for first time visitors. If you would like to train to assist at the station(net set up and take down, recording data, taking photographs, referencing manuals)join the "Birding for a Better Columbus" facebook group page or contact Doreen Whitley [log in to unmask]

Recently banded birds this season include:

Swainson's Thrush
Magnolia Warbler
American Redstart
Grey Catbird
Northern Cardinal
Song Sparrow
Ovenbird
