A Day in the Life of a Head Bander

Robyn Perkins coordinates the migratory and breeding bird monitoring programs at Lesser Slave Lake Bird Observatory that help provide a better understanding of the overall health of bird populations in the boreal forest. Daily duties at the station include visual counts, a daily census, as well as “bird banding” where birds are captured in mist nets, assessed, and banded with light-weight numbered bands before being released again.
