Tony Rothering, professor of biology, recently held a bird banding event at Nipper Wildlife Sanctuary (south of Loami). The data collected helps inform the sanctuary of the diversity of bird species present and the quality of habitat. For safety considerations, the event was not open to the public and CDC recommendations were followed.
