The final workshop of the 2009 Natural History Workshop season has a few
openings available.
Birds, Migration and Bird Banding
September 12 & 13 (Saturday & Sunday)
Hours: 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days
Instructor: Vicki Piaskowski is an ornithologist and research associate
with the Foundation for Wildlife Conservation, Inc. She has conducted
ornithological field research and training in the U.S. and in Belize,
Central America. She will be assisted by Tim Vargo, Manager of Research and
Citizen Science at the Urban Ecology Center and Al Sherkow and Debbie
Hartmann, Master bird banders from Whitefish Bay who conduct bird banding at
the Riveredge Nature Center and other sites.
The Course: This course will enhance the student's understanding of birds
and will serve as an introduction to bird banding techniques. Mornings will
consist of fieldwork, including the observation of mist netting and bird
banding, and a demonstration of aging and sexing techniques. Afternoons will
consist of lectures that will provide students with basic information on
birds and on one of the most fascinating aspects of the avian life cycle:
migration. Students will learn the tools and techniques involved in bird
banding and how bird banding research is used to unravel some of the
mysteries of ornithology.
