Birdathon / Bandathon
Each spring is a new beginning for bird research at Riveredge. Timed to
coincide with the peak of the annual spring migration, the Birdathon/Bandathon
in mid May marks this new beginning. Using a combination of field observation
and mist netting, the object of this 24 hour event is to monitor the diversity,
numbers and health of bird populations as they migrate through or recolonize
the Riveredge landscape. There’s no better time to get to know the birds or the
members of the Riveredge Bird Club.
