Big Bald Bird Banding

Grady's 4th grade class went to Big Bald Mountain to the bird banding research station.  My nature loving kid was in his element.  It was great for the kids to see some hands on science and get to help out.

Meeting with Mark, the head researcher


When we got there, they had 24 birds in the mist nets


Most of them were Tennessee Warblers

Collecting some data




The kids couldn't get enough




Checking to see how much fat each bird had


Releasing the birds




Every student was able to release a bird
