This event is part of the Nantucket Biodiversity Initiative’s 20th anniversary celebration week. Get ready for an exciting BioBlitz day at LLNF! Kick off the morning with a bird banding session with Master Bird Bander Libby Buck. You'll observe migrating songbirds like Black-capped Chickadees and Gray Catbirds up close as we capture, band, and release them. Learn about the bird banding process and its importance in protecting our local bird populations.

Banding is weather dependent. Banding may be canceled at any time with limited notice. Please check your email leading up to the event.

Photography is permitted. Any images shared via social media must include the phrase: “All birds were handled and banded for research purposes under state and federal permits.” Video is prohibited.
