Kristi,

No arrangement is needed to visit and observe.  Jethro runs 7 days a week from 
about 15-30 minutes before sunrise through the early afternoon, and later if 
there are still birds around.  He is always happy to have visitors walk up, and 
if you tell him you would like to help out, he might well put you to work and 
show you how various things are done there.  He is a very friendly and generous 
person.  The season is Aug 15th - Nov. 22nd.  A good tip:  the best days are 
the ones associated with a cold front the day/night before, so that the winds 
have been from the NW the night before.  Almost all the songbirds that migrate 
do so at night and attempt to take advantage of the wind.

Bob

  Bob, how does one arrange a visit to view and or assist with banding efforts 
on Kiptopeke?

  Heard from Jethro Runco, CVWO's bander at Kiptopeke this morning. They 
started on Aug. 15th, and he says they are off to the best start ever. Already 
banded 58 species, including Louisiana waterthrush, Nashville warbler, Kentucky 
warbler, blackpoll warbler, golden-winged warbler, blue-winged warbler, and 
blackburnian warbler! Also banded an eastern screech owl and a 
chuck-wills-widow. Says this current cold front has been terrific. The birds 
are moving!
