CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION: 100 YEARS OF CONSERVATION AND COMMUNITY
Members Only Jasper Ridge Bird Banding with SFBBO
We're visiting the Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve 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 Jasper Ridge. So bring your binoculars and your questions for this fun morning out with the birds! Participants will meet at the gathering point for admission through the gate before continuing to the parking area at Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve. 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 to be admitted through the locked gate. 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.
