Bird Banding Workshop News – Extended Registration Deadline

The registration deadline has been extended for Klamath Bird Observatory’s July 24-28 Fundamentals of Songbird Banding Workshop – now July 12. Registration fees contribute directly to funding our long-term monitoring and banding training program. This is an introductory course and participants will be exposed to the fundamental skills and knowledge that serve as the foundation for becoming a skilled bird bander. This workshop is designed for undergraduates, graduate students, bird observatory volunteers, naturalists, and others interested in learning more about bird monitoring and conservation science. The course is particularly suitable for those interested in pursuing careers in ornithology or assisting at bird banding stations. No previous experience necessary!

The registration fee is $1,600 per person and includes all meals (including beverages and snacks) beginning with dinner Monday July 24 and ending with lunch Friday July 28. Space is available for free tent camping at KBO’s Upper Klamath Lake Field Station.
