Bedford Audubon operates a Monitoring Avian Productivity & Survivorship (MAPS for short) Station in our Hunt-Parker Sanctuary from late May to early August. MAPS is a North American research project led by the Institute for Bird Populations.
Our banding data is submitted alongside more than 500 other MAPS Stations to provide critical information relating to the ecology, conservation, and management of North American land bird populations, and the factors responsible for changes in their populations.
There is no fee for this demonstration, but we do ask that you make a donation to support our program. Suggested donation range $20-40.
