VARC Bird Monitoring and Banding AND Bird Identification Workshops

The Vancouver Avian Research Centre is pleased to announce dates for 2019 spring Bird Monitoring and Banding AND Bird Identification Workshops.

Bird Monitoring and Banding Workshop:
May 10 - 12

The Bird Monitoring and Banding Workshop is designed for people with little or no bird banding or bird in the hand experience and provides a fantastic opportunity to see birds up close and personal, to learn about their plumage, molt sequences and life habits.

The Bird Identification Workshop is designed for beginner and intermediate birders who may wish to participate in citizen science projects such as the BC Breeding Bird Atlas or similar programs or who just want to take their bird knowledge and identification skills to the next level.

This course covers groups, topography, field marks, song, habitat, molt, ageing and more and includes a guided field session to the Colony Farm banding station. Although developed for beginner and intermediate birders the ornithological aspects of the course benefit even the most experienced birders and the workshop is invaluable for birders traveling overseas.
 

Bird Identification Workshop: 
May 25 – 26 (in association with UBC Botanical Gardens)

Most of all, these workshops are designed to be a fun and interesting experience and a way to take your interest in birds and the environment to the next level.
