Holiday Gift Ideas from WBPO

michiganaudubon — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 15:08:52 +0000

Are you looking for a unique or educational gift this holiday season? Consider one of these great ideas that will benefit the study of bird migration in the Great Lakes:

Adopt-an-Owl – Bird banding is an important tool used by WPBO to determine both the composition and the pathways of migrating owls at Whitefish Point. You can support our banding program by adopting an owl–a rewarding way to contribute to raptor conservation. Learn More

Sponsor the Research – Help WPBO continue its long-term migration study by sponsoring a day of research. This program is for the spring, summer and fall migration counts and owl banding conducted by WPBO staff. You may sponsor any date on or between March 15-May 31, July 1-Aug 25, and August 15-November 15. Learn More
