At the banding station, uniquely numbered bands are attached to the legs of birds to track the distribution and movements of species, their relative numbers, annual production, life span, and causes of death. Each spring, Denver Audubon partners with a wildlife biologist from Bird Conservancy of the Rockies to band birds at our nature center in Chatfield State Park. This is one of the few opportunities in the state of Colorado to experience wild birds up-close-and-personal.
