Join us for a family-friendly, all-ages bird banding event led by bilingual scientists at Intermountain Bird Observatory. Visitors will have the opportunity to observe bird banding up close, learn about bird biology, behavior, and migration, and even help release birds back into the wild. Banding begins at sunrise and runs for 5 hours; guests are typically invited to arrive around 7–8 AM depending on sunrise time and can stay until closing at 12 PM. This is an educational and immersive experience in nature—ideal for families, bird enthusiasts, and curious minds of all ages!
