Come learn why we band song birds in a hands on atmosphere while also getting an opportunity to practice your bird ID and much more! This event is possible thanks to a partnership with Otter Creek Audubon and numerous volunteers! Bird bander Rodney Olson of Vergennes will lead the banding workshop.  Members of the public will help identify the birds, observe the banding process, and help release the birds after they are banded.
