CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION: 100 YEARS OF CONSERVATION AND COMMUNITY

Members Only: Bird Banding with SFBBO

We're visiting the Coyote Creek Field Station for a bird banding demonstration with the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory! We'll get to see each step of the bird banding process, from capture to release, getting close up views of our local birds while learning about the research done at the field station. So bring your binoculars and your questions for this fun morning out with the birds! Participants will meet at the gathering point before carpooling to the Coyote Creek Field Station. Please obscure the location/delay posting any rarity eBird sightings by several weeks before posting any rarities to deter trespassing.

Other Trip Notes: Please arrive on time at the meeting place for a quick orientation before we carpool to the field station. Due to the limited staff on site, we will not be able to offer any sort of early departures from the trip. If you will be going, plan to stay for the whole length of the event.
