Beginner Bird Banding Class

[Danielle Kaschube]

A beginner banding class will be hosted by The Millbrook School in
Millbrook, New York, August 23-28, 2009 in cooperation with The
Institute for Bird Populations (IBP). The cost is $900 for the class.
Accommodations are available for an additional charge.  Please visit
the IBP web page at http://www.birdpop.org/training2009summerfall.htm 
to download the registration form or contact the class host,
<mailto:brosenbaum@...>Barry
<mailto:brosenbaum@...>Rosenbaum, from The Millbrook School
for more information.  There has been a lot of interest in this class
so please register early to reserve a space.

During a typical day, mornings are spent at mist nets with birds in
the hand and afternoons consist of classroom lecture sessions. The
pace of the course is fast but will be tailored to the skill levels
of the participants.  The course is designed to provide both amateur
birders and professional biologists with the skills necessary to
participate in monitoring and research programs involving bird banding.

Please pass this notice to friends, family, and colleagues who may
have an interest in banding.

Hope to see you there!
