SUMMARY:Bird Banding at GCBO
LOCATION:Gulf Coast Bird Observatory, 299 West, TX-332, Lake Jackson, TX, 77566
DESCRIPTION:Bird Banding at GCBO\n\n09/20/25 08:00 AM EST\n - 09/20/25 12:00 PM EST\Description:\nYou are invited to join us for our monthly bird banding program at the GCBO headquarters. Licensed bird banders and GCBO Research Associates Robert and Kay Lookingbill  band at the sanctuary on a regular basis. Birds are captured for banding in very fine nylon nets known as “mist nets” because they are almost invisible in the environment. Captured birds are weighed and measured and their species, sex, and age are recorded. Each is fitted with an aluminum leg band with a unique number provided by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and released unharmed. If the bird is captured again, the band provides the link to retrieve this history, which then provides important information on the routes used by migrating birds, their longevity, and general physical condition.\Location:\nGulf Coast Bird Observatory\n299 West, TX-332\nLake Jackson, TX 77566
