Join us on Wednesday, December 7, at 6:45 p.m. to hear Mark
Armstrong, bird curator of the Knoxville Zoo and past president
of KTOS, talk about the success of the local MAPS project.
MAPS, which stands for Monitoring Avian Productivity and
Survivorship, is a continent-wide bird banding program that
seeks to collect and analyze data about North American land bird
populations. Mark has been organizing the MAPS banding
station at Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge for the last five years. At
the meeting, Mark will share fascinating stories and close-up
photos of birds being processed and released at the banding
station, including everything from hummingbirds to cuckoos.
He’ll also discuss some of the other banding efforts being undertaken
at Seven Islands, including banding of Northern Saw-whet
Owls.
The meeting will be held in Room 117 of the UT College of
Veterinary Medicine. For directions, visit the Meetings page on
our website at www.tnbirds.org/KTOS.html.
