Thank you so much to everyone who came out for our Bird Banding Demo. this morning! We’d also like to thank Dr. Ron Canterbury (and his incredible volunteers), and the UC Center for Field Studies for having us! Thanks also to Ash and Thomas for the photos.

What is bird banding you may ask? Bird banding is the placement of a unique band or ring around a bird’s leg. Banding allows biologists to better understand the movements, behavior, and survival of birds during migration ✨

Join Q***r Birders of Cincinnati for a Waterfowl Walk at Lake Barber with Sean Gallagher on Sunday, March 22nd from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. 🦆

Sean Gallagher (he/him) is a naturalist with the Great Parks and loves to bird at the park he works in, Woodland Mound. Sean has been birding for 6 years and has loved wildlife his whole life. He loves sharing outdoor experiences with others. In his free time, Sean can be found exploring outside, reading and writing, or watching baseball. Sean also loves to capture bird song and behavior through videos. Sean’s favorite thing about the outdoors is that there is always something new to learn: no experience in nature is ever the same ☺️
