We will be camping in Milford, Ontario, and spending the day at the banding lab to learn safe bird handling and bird banding techniques.
All program will take an in-depth, hands-on approach to the banding experience, while learning the different birds both migrating and resident birds. We will learn scribing, extraction, bird survey and most importantly all things birds.  Additionally, we'll explore the wildlife area, conducting various surveys in different habitat to enhance our birding skills. 


There is a $50 fee for weekend programs(spring and fall)  and a $100 fee for the summer program. There is potential for a sliding scale adjustment on a case by case bases.
