This page is a work in progress!

Each species banded at the Colony Farm Banding Station will be represented here and by clicking on an individual species you will be able to use our Bird Guide to identify birds, learn about the life history and find information and cool facts.

We will also be adding comprehensive information and photographs to explain molt and how molt sequences allow us to accurately age North American land birds in the hand.
