Then come join us this Fall at our public bird banding event in Fort Morgan, Alabama! Not only will you have the opportunity to get an up close look at a wide range of native and migratory birds, you’ll also be able to observe and learn about the process of bird banding and why it’s important to avian conservation efforts.
Our crew of licensed banders and experienced volunteers will share life history information about each species, and are happy to answer any questions you may have throughout the event. Photos are encouraged!
This unique experience is our most anticipated public outreach event of the year. We can’t wait to see you there! BCA is an all volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We rely on public donations to be able to do events such as this one.
Please note: Even though our event is free, the Ft. Morgan Historic Site charges an entrance fee. Please make sure to pay the fee to help maintain the fort.
Things to keep in mind when visiting the station:
Remember bug spray, sunscreen, water/snacks, and chairs (if you plan to stay for an extended amount of time). Closed toe shoes are recommended.
If you have a disability and are concerned about access, please reach out to us in advanced so we can arrange your visit. Email: [email protected].
Bring your friends and families but please leave your pets at home.
