Monomoy Bird Observatory Monomoy Refuge Banding Station was founded in 2011 and represents the first organized migration banding on the famous refuge.

Our focus is on understanding landbird usage on the Monomoy NWR. Beautiful birds in a beautiful place. Located near the lighthouse on South Monomoy island, the banding station employs research protocols standardized at other US and International bird observatories. In addition to collecting valuable scientific data, MRBS serves as an opportunity for those interested in expanding practical skills in field ornithology.
