BIRD BANDING DEMONSTRATIONS
Watch a bird banding demonstration! In order to identify and keep track of individual birds, scientists put aluminum or colored bands on birds’ legs. Similar to the license plate on a car, each aluminum band is engraved with a unique set of numbers. Don’t miss your chance to learn more about the important research the Sullivan’s Island Bird Banding Station is doing on migratory and resident birds! You must sign up for a demonstration (LIMIT 10 PEOPLE per session).
