This is a research and ornithological monitoring site. Migration
monitoring occurs throughout spring, however the public is invited to
participate in releases, and observe the processing of birds as they
arrive to the processing centers. A brief tour of some net lanes will
be provided during slow periods. Canopy and ground-based nets will be
utilized. Several licensed banders will be operating the nets and
overseeing the processing procedures. A parallel research project
sampling insects eaten by migratory birds and habitat utilization at
all levels of the forests will also be featured, and will provide
more opportunities for public participation. Cameras and binoculars a
must. Directions.
