Visitors Learning about Wildlife Conservation at Patuxent Research Refuge, 1960s

Group of about 13 people (most appear to be youths) gathered around a large wayside sign that features the subject heading "Bird Banding: A Tool of Waterfowl Management". Behind the sign is a wooded area. The area appears to be on the edge of a parking area. The people are dressed in comfortable clothes (e.g. shorts, short-sleeved shirts) of 1960s vintage.
