    No. I don't band birds. My husband, the park naturalist, has volunteers who come out to their park to band birds. It's basically putting a mini license plate on their one leg, then tracking migration patterns, breeding, size and so forth. Today, they were swabbing them.

    After many years of hard work, we got our little property designated as a Monarch Waystation with Monarch Watch. While we don't band birds, we do tag Monarchs during their migration in late August - mid October. Tagging Monarchs is not quite as detail oriented as bird banding in its collection of information, but a similar concept. We purchase the tags through Monarch Watch and send our report back to them. Because my gardens were basically taken out by the winter two years ago, I didn't even tag last year. Our research confirms larger scope research-- numbers are going down. Here's one tagged:

    And letting it go, but it decided to hang out a minute.

    ^^^Wow, that's really cool! I had no idea you could tag butterflies - they seem too delicate. I have a friend who has helped to band hummingbirds in the past - they also need little teeny bands, and are tricky to catch because they move so darn fast.

    It's not so bad...I love it here in Oregon...you get used to the rain, and most times it's not a heavy rain, it's just a drizzle...constant though...lol

    Gary and Jill put up a net and they fly into it. That's how they catch the variety of birds that they do. They did have a hummingbird in the net earlier, but they banded and released it before we got there. They were out at about 4:30 AM. Um, I assure you that I was not there that early at all. We got there at about 9 AM.

    But yes, the hummer bands are teeny!

    This is soooo awesome! I worked with a group in KC that banded Red Shouldered Hawks. It was really cool to see how they gathered the info. Did NOT know you could tag Butterflies!

    I didn't even know you could touch butterfly wings. I guess that old thing about how touching them makes them unable to fly is just an old wives' tale.
