WHAT: Bird Banding with VT Audubon Biologist Mark LaBarr

We're excited to announce the return of this annual event! MALT welcomes folks for a morning of bird banding with Audubon Vermont Biologist Mark LaBarr. You’ll have the chance to get hands-on with birds while contributing to a better understanding of their life cycles and migration patterns.

While Mark teaches the art of banding, Otter Creek Audubon Society volunteers will lead engaging activities for families and youth. After the birding and banding wrap up, bring some snacks to enjoy a small, relaxed gathering celebrating birds and all things summer, where you can socialize, share your observations, and soak in the sights and sounds of the season.

CANCELLATION POLICY: MALT operates programs outdoors in a variety of weather conditions. If weather conditions are hazardous (lightning, sustained winds >30m.p.h., sustained heat of 100 degrees or freezing temps), MALT may cancel the program. MALT will communicate about cancellations through our social media channels and email to registered participants.
