Opportunities to learn how to band birds are unfortunately limited, as there are only a few licensed bird banders in southern California willing to teach bird banding and a limited number of banding stations. Banding stations often operate seasonally or, if continuous, once a week or less. Openings do periodically occur. So you are welcome to contact us regarding bird banding opportunities. We may have something available for you. Just keep in mind, we are interested in a serious commitment only. Contact us through the email, danausakai@aol.com, (re: Bird Banding). It might be best to provide a resume or CV on your background as a birder or bird bander, beyond the statement “I love birds.” “I want to learn how to band birds.”
COMMENT: We occasionally get asked, if there are paying gigs. Unfortunately not. All of the stations and banders mentioned in this site are self-funded with some modest funding from grants.
