Banding Site Data

This page contains data that has been gathered at the Black Branch banding site over the past several years. Right now there is only a summary of the the number of birds caught per hundred net hours, and a list of the bird species seen or heard at the banding site, but there will be more information coming soon.

This drop down menu lists the bird families of which members have been caught. Select a family and click the "Let's See the Birds!" button to see the species that have been caught from that family. If a photograph is available for a given bird, that will appear in the table, too.
