Hi everyone,
With the weather forecast for this weekend looking better, we're going to band at Whitehall on Sunday morning and hopefully get some nice migrants. We'll meet at the gate at 7:00. Hope to see y'all there!
Hi everyone,
We are going to have our first bird banding event of the fall on Saturday, September 17 at Flinchum's Phoenix in Whitehall Forest. We’ll meet at the gated entrance at 6:45. In order to give everyone more experience, we have decided to cap the banding events at 25 people for now. If you would like to attend, please fill in your name and email on the sign up sheet (link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RIg11wNzyDfSWN1KPKCVxs0mrWYb4KWqJFg0sQJ21Zo/edit?usp=sharing). Let me know if you have any questions. Hope to see y’all there!
Thanks,
Cody
