Morning as a Tree Swallow Scientist

Have you ever wanted to see Tree Swallows up close and personal? Have you ever wondered what bird scientists do and why it’s so important? Join BNS Board Members and Biologists Lucy van Haaften and Linda Hutchinson for a morning of Tree Swallow science at an established set of nest boxes. Watch and learn as they handle and band adult birds, check nests for eggs, and discuss the importance of long-term bird monitoring projects.
