Bird Banding 

Bird Banding at Rice Creek will resume this fall.  Come and observe birds in hand during the capture, banding and release of resident and migrating songbirds.

There will be a tentative schedule through early November.  Call the field station for details.

Winter Bird Study at RCFS

Drop by on most Fridays and Saturdays from early November through early April and spend a few minutes with our feathered friends.  Be a citizen scientist as you count the birds at the Rice Creek feeders from our indoor viewing area.  Become familiar with Cornell's Lab of Ornithology's annual survey of birds visiting feeders in the winter.  Information about participating in Project FeederWatch at your own feeders will also be available.  This is a great project for all ages and the entire family.
