The Institute for Bird Populations (www.birdpop.org) works with local organizations to host intensive passerine bird banding classes. The classes provide a unique hands-on experience that will be very useful to students embarking on a career in ornithology or for researchers handling or banding passerines.
We will be working with Wolf Ridge ELC in northeastern Minnesota to offer beginning and advanced bird banding classes during summer 2016. The classes will be held at the Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center, with the advanced class to be held June 20-24, 2016 and the beginner class to be held June 26 - July 2, 2016. Please visit the banding class page on Wolf Ridge's website (http://wolf-ridge.org/camp/advanced-bird-banding-courses/)for more information about the classes and how to register. Please register before May 1st to insure a spot in one of these classes.
