Banding together
Gwen Baluss, a wildlife technician with the U.S. Forest Service, demonstrated how to band an Oregon dark-eyed junco on the morning of April 24 at city park. Baluss explained that banding, also known as ringing, serves as a kind of ID that allows wildlife researchers to track a bird’s life story across time and geography. The demonstration was part of the Stikine River Birding Festival, which ran April 22-26.
