Bird Banding Station Visit at the Younger Lagoon Reserve

Get up close and personal with birds! Join us at the Younger Lagoon Reserve on UCSC’s Coastal Science Campus (Long Marine Lab) to observe bird banding in action. Each week, a group of student interns, YLR staff, and volunteers run a bird banding station to assess the impacts of habitat restoration efforts on the YLR’s bird populations. This is a unique opportunity to observe birds in hand and learn about this ongoing project.
