Dave did this program last year, as well.   The White-Throated Sparrows
kept getting back in his net.


Saturday, February 9: 9am / Shawnee Prairie Preserve  St. Rt. 502
Greenville, Ohio.

Pre-registration Required / Fee: $2 per person  call 937-548-0165

Have you ever seen a bird with a colored “bracelet” on its leg or heard

of someone “banding” a bird and wondered why someone would do that?

This program will welcome Dr. Dave Russell, of the Avian Research and

Education Institute, to the Nature Center as we discover the use of bird

banding and how scientists use this popular technique. The Avian Research

and Education Institute (AREI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to

enhancing the preservation of avian populations. AREI is committed

to establishing biological stations that will provide bird banding and

environmental education to the public. After our informative lecture, we’ll

head to the bird banding station to watch as Dr. Russell bands our local

songbirds. Space is limited, pre-register early
