Get up close and personal with birds! Join us at the Younger Lagoon Reserve (YLR) on UCSC’s Coastal Science Campus (Long Marine Lab) to observe bird banding in action. Each week, a group of student interns, YLR staff, and community volunteers run a bird banding station to assess the impacts of habitat restoration efforts on the YLR’s bird populations. This is a unique opportunity to observe birds in hand and learn about this ongoing project. This free event is open to all Friends of the Norris Center members. Space is limited. Registration deadline: Monday, June 3. Upon registration we’ll send you parking information and other details.
