5/22/2024 - Bird Banding Breakfast - Spring Migration 2024 Have you ever wanted to see a songbird up close? Here is your opportunity! Join Audubon Connecticut's Director of Conservation, Corrie Folsom-O'Keefe for a morning of bird banding at the charming Bent of the River Audubon Center. You will meet up with Bent staff in the visitor's lot at 7:30 AM. We will walk to the barn for a simple breakfast on the birding balcony and then take a beautiful hike out to the bird banding station. We never know which birds will land in our nets, but you might get to see anything from Blue-winged Warblers to Indigo Buntings! You will learn about these old field nesting birds, why we band them, and how this information influences the management of the sanctuary. Be sure to get your cameras ready for a great picture! This exciting experience is for ages 5 and up. ### Event: Bird Banding Breakfast - Spring Migration 2024 Event Date: 5/22/2024 Event Rain Date: 5/23/2024 Event Time: 7:30am Admission Fee: $35.00 Registration Deadline: 5/20/2024 Registration Instructions: https://bentoftheriver.audubon.org/events/bird-banding-breakfast-spring-migration-2024 Event Organizers: Bent of the River Audubon Center | 203-405-9113 | Kathleen.Pratt@audubon.org | bentoftheriver.audubon.org | www.facebook.com/bentoftheriver Event Location: Bent of the River Audubon Center, 185 East Flat Hill Rd.
