Bird Banding at Sunset Park

written by Alex Lamoreaux

Since the weather was so nice (also read: "freezing cold"), Emily Thomas decided to try banding this morning. There was quite a crowd there from the local bird club, but unfortunately we didn't catch many birds. The species we captured included Northern Cardinals, Dark-eyed Juncos, White-throated Sparrow, and House Finches. Here are some photos from this morning:

They look so calm? How did you do that? And how did you not hurt them?

With proper training it is possible to handle birds in a manner that does not stress them out. Also, banding them quickly and holding them for short amounts of time reduces any stress.
