Bird banding Jan. 19 at Lowry Nature Center

The Three Rivers Park District is hosting a bird-banding program 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Jan. 19, at Lowry Nature Center, 7025 Victoria Dr., in Victoria.

See wild songbirds up close as they are safely trapped, studied and tagged with numbered rings. Learn how to identify birds in the hand. You may even get a chance to hear a bird’s heartbeat and help release the bird. Drop in anytime.

The program is free and open to all ages.
