The Presque Isle banding season is almost here!

Hello Bird Banding friends,

Audubon Pennsylvania and Presque Isle Audubon Society are bringing you five weeks of bird banding at Presque Isle beginning on April 20th!  Our new bird bander for this season will be Laura-Marie Koitsch. The 20th is her first day, so it might be a good idea to let her get settled in before swarming the banding sites(!). There will be some maintenance to do on the net lanes during the first week, so if you do come out, please be prepared to do some trimming and raking to get things in shape.

Once we get going we will be posting the schedule of sites and latest information on the most recent catches so be sure to check here often! We will be alternating between the Niagara Boat Launch site and the Fry's Landing site as in past years. We will have a new stick-in-the-ground sign that will be put out near the road at the site we're banding at each day, so be sure to look for it.

More coming soon!

Sarah
