NSC’s Purple Martin Banding

The birds are back! Join Peter this Saturday, 12 July from 9:30am as he bands our purple martin neighbours.

During banding sessions, visitors can see the birds in their nests, and watch how they are processed and what information is recorded. They can even touch, hold, and interact with the chicks.

We expect hundreds of baby purple martins will be banded.

The public is welcome!
