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.
