      Inland Bird Banding Association 
2006 Annual Conference



The 2006 annual conference will be held in Tellico Plains, Tennessee (45 miles 
southeast of Knoxville) on Sept 22, 23 and 24. Registration will be held Friday 
evening followed by a reception, orientation and welcome by representatives of 
Cherokee National Forest. Activities will be centered in the Tellico Plains 
Community Center and will include a Saturday morning field trip to Whigg Meadow 
Bird Banding Station operated by Dave Vogt of Chattanooga, and workshop on 
aging by molt limits followed by a box lunch on he meadow.

Vogt, an active member of the Tennessee Ornithological Society, is on the 
national board of directors of Inland Bird Banding Association.  It was 
organized in 1922, in Chicago, Illinois.  Since that same year it has been 
publishing the scientific work of its members. It publishes "North American 
Bird Bander" which is a quarterly publication of interest to banders, 
ornithologists, and others interested in birds. The organization supports the 
largest membership of any bird banding association in America.  

A Saturday afternoon paper session will precede the evening barbeque banquet 
featuring hummingbird expert Bob Sargent who will speak on the role of bird 
banding in the study of hummingbirds. Bob and Martha Sargent are well-known for 
their work with hummingbirds regularly banding eight hundred Ruby-throated 
Hummingbirds annually. Additional they have banded several hundred wintering 
hummingbirds of several species across the eastern United States in recent 
years. His program promises to be both entertaining and informative.
