Record Breaking Season for Fall Migration Bird Banding |
|
Bird Banding is conducted each fall to monitor songbird populations during their migration. Kiawah Island provides an important stop-over habitat that migrating birds rely on to rest and refuel before continuing their journey.
Sonya Stevens and Jason Tighe of ABC News 4 recently spent a day shadowing the Town's Assistant Wildlife Biologist, Aaron Given, as he provided them with a glimpse of the fall-migration bird banding process.
During their time together, Mr. Given revealed that this fall was a record-breaking season for Kiawah, with a grand total of 5,700 birds banded.
