BIRD BANDING

Bird banding is a national program by the US Geological Survey and the Canadian Wildlife Service aimed at avian research. It involves applying uniquely numbered bands to birds' legs to track their distribution, movements, population, life span, and causes of death. Each spring, Denver Audubon hires a wildlife biologist from Bird Conservancy of the Rockies to band birds at Chatfield State Park, providing a rare chance to experience wild birds up close in Colorado.
