The LLCC Bird Banding Station opened up for the fall banding season last Monday, Aug. 22. This past Friday we had a very good day (73 birds of 20 species) considering how early in the season it is! The most notable capture was a pair of Belted Kingfishers (the first ever caught at our banding station)! Follow the Lincoln Land Community College Bird Banding Station on Facebook to see photos and updates from the station.  Most notable is the picture of student Stevie Emmons with the 2 kingfishers.

The banding station will be open Monday-Saturday, sunrise to about 11a.m., thru mid-November. All are welcome to join us!
