2025 Bird Bander Training with Puget Sound Bird Observatory

Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn the skills needed to participate in monitoring and research programs involving bird banding.

The Bander Training course is a five-day hands-on training class that takes place over two weekends this summer.
​
The course will take place at beautiful and birdy Northwest Trek in Eatonville. The timing of this course will allow students to learn from adult birds breeding and post breeding, and newly hatched first-year birds.

We will be covering all you need to know about catching, extracting, handling, aging and sexing, collecting biometrics for birds in hand. This course delves extensively into molt strategies and calendars for passerines and near passerines. 

New banders will work with coaches and our instructor to practice techniques and develop skills over five days of classes and practice sessions.
