Bird Banding Reminder

A friendly reminder to visitors to Birdcraft Sanctuary: please do not touch the bird banding nets, and if you come upon a bird in one of the nets, please leave it alone.

On several occasions in recent weeks, visitors have released birds from the nets. Only the federally-licensed bird banders at Birdcraft are legally permitted to handle those birds. Releasing them risks injury to the birds and interferes with the bird banders’ research.
