Bird in Hand
Bird banding helps scientists track individual birds using uniquely numbered aluminum bands. Since 1960, Long Point Bird Observatory in Ontario has banded over a million birds of 296 species. I’m inspired by the deep care and curiosity bird banders show toward each bird they encounter.
