2025 Bird Banding at the SMWP

Saturday May 31, 2025 @ 8:00 AM

Please join us at the Seneca Meadows Wetland Preserve (1712 Black Brook Road Seneca Falls, NY 13148) as Andrea Patterson from Braddock Bay will band several birds.  All individuals, families, children, groups, under-served communities, and friends are welcome to this free, educational, and fun event!  Photographs are encouraged.  Last year, Andrea banded a few Song and Swamp Sparrows, 1 Red-winged  Blackbird that got away, and a Robin.  It was incredibly windy and we could put out only 2 nets.  It may be hot and sunny, so hats and water bottles are recommended.  We won’t be walking too much (less than one mile at a time, to check the nets) and the trails are usually dry, but if conditions change you will receive more information earlier in the week.  Andrea will be with us until 11:00 AM, about 3 hours.  For more information and/or questions, please call (315) 539-5089 and leave a detailed message or email to fred.leff@audubon.org and to register, which is required, please register at the link below.
