VARC Species Accounts
Each species banded at the Colony Farm Banding Station is represented in the VARC Molt Portal.
The portal was developed and authored by Derek Matthews, VARC’s Chairman and a North American Banding Council (NABC) Certified Trainer, to provide comprehensive information on each of the species we have worked with at the station. By clicking on an individual species you will be able to use the Bird Guide to identify birds, learn about their life history and find information and cool facts. Furthermore, the portal provides comprehensive information on ageing and sexing techniques and terminology and high quality photographs to explain molt and how molt sequences allow us to accurately age North American landbirds in the hand.
