Family Day at the Joppa Flats Bird Banding Station

Are you curious about bird banding? Do you want to see how a real bird banding station operates?

If you are, bring the family to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge for an exciting, up-close look at migrating birds as they are netted and evaluated before releasing.

The Bird Banding Station is open at the height of migration in September and October. You’ll learn about migration, habitat use, and scientific research at a real field station.
