Mckellar Island Bird Observatory
Description
McKellar Island Bird Observatory is a place where migrating birds are counted and banded. It's a place where we welcome volunteer help. An array of mist-nets is used to capture birds along a trail through the woods to sample the demographics of bird populations migrating through the area spring and fall. Birds are banded and promptly released. Volunteers help with the bird research and interact with visitors. Visitors will have the opportunity to see wild birds in the hand as they are removed from nets, banded, documented and released. Visitors will have the opportunity to interact with volunteers & researchers in the field. We are a registered charity, we do not charge admission though donations in lieu of admission are welcome. Send your donations to Save Our Songbirds, 324 First Ave., Thunder Bay, ON P7B2M8 or make an online donation at: http://www.canadahelps.org/CharityProfilePage.aspx?CharityID=d93953
