  • When I was young I used to go out every Saturday with my dad and a guy that was part of a bird banding group. We mostly caught warblers and chickadees and a few others line that.

    I learned how to hold birds, band them, untangle them from the nets, and all about their personalities. It was so much fun getting to hold wild birds and track their migratory patterns.

    Many birds we would see on the same week every year. It’s amazing.

    I think they’re way more strict about who can hold or untangle birds now. So I feel even more privileged to have gotten to participate as a kid (teenager).
