Today we had a great volunteer from HBMO, come out to band a nest of Screech owls born in one of the nest boxes the kids built at the club this past February. Marti was super knowledgeable and passionate about the raptors she works with and explained how vital banding is to monitoring the health of populations and migration patterns. She also thanked our club for the conservation projects like this to help struggling owl populations. Anyone looking to help this worthwhile organization in their mission can adopt their favourite bird, donate, or join. HBMO is a non profit that relies on volunteers and the community support.
