The public is invited to register for either a 9:00 am or 10:00 am presentation by Corrie Folsum-O’Keefe and members of Connecticut Audubon.  Observe bird banding and learn how bird research provides insight into understanding our environment and changes in it.  Corrie is the Bird Conservation Program Manager for the Connecticut Audubon facilities located in Southbury, Sharon, and Greenwich. 

The program also includes a presentation and tour of a photo exhibit by Sophie Zyla entitled Birds in Hand.  This photo display of birds documents banding actions with information on demographics and the data provided by banding and tracking activities.  The photo display is open to the public through June 7.
