All birds handled with proper permits and training

Banding along the Truckee River, back in August 2023, we captured this Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and weighed it in this "bird tube," appropriately sized for their safety and ease of measurement.

Taught my undergrad ornithology class about #BirdBanding & moult this week. Many had never seen birds up close before. Makes the ethics & pedagogical merit process feel worth it 😅

All birds handled w permits and training.

GBBO has hosted several bird banding workshops at our station on the Truckee River in recent years. Participants get the rare opportunity to safely handle & learn about birds up close. We always have so much fun connecting people with conservation!

No waders… no problem! Breaking down the banding station after our workshop in August 2023. The Truckee River was running high due to snowmelt then.
