Did you know that beauties like the stunning warbler pictured above might be gracing your backyard this spring on their way north to suitable breeding habitat?  You might see yellow goldfinches at your feeder or golden forsythia lighting up your yard, but chances are you ain’t seen nothin’ like this showstopper yet this spring!  Visit the Rushton Farm Songbird Banding Station on Delchester Road between the operating hours of 6am and 11am on Saturday, May 16th to glimpse amazing migratory songbirds like these up-close. You’ll learn all about the science of bird banding and bird conservation from our expert bird banding staff.

There’s a lot going on in the woods,
