DESCRIPTION

Visit a newly established bird banding station at the Lindsay-Parsons Biodiversity Preserve to see birds in the hand and learn about their breeding habits. Watch research in action and enjoy close-up views of resident birds while biologists band, measure, and weigh them. The banding station is a short walk from the parking lot. Bring a lawn chair, drinking water, and binoculars if you have them.

DIRECTIONS

From Ithaca, take Route 13 South to Route 34/96 South toward West Danby. After 8 miles, the parking area will be on the left, at the top of a hill. We will meet to the right of the parking lot towards the meadow, not the main trail.

POLICIES

Except in the case of extreme weather, events go on rain or shine. Please check this web page for updates.
