For those of you at the TOS meeting this weekend (and those that did not =
attend), here are links to the Institute for Bird Populations and the MoSI =
banding stations we discussed on Saturday.  Information on the web sites =
should answer many of your questions.  If you still have questions, please =
contact me off the listserv.

Remember, by adopting a MoSI banding station, we will be greatly increasing=
 our knowledge of the winter habitat use and survival of "our" birds =
wintering in Mexico, Central America, and the Carribean.  We know very =
little about what our birds do during the winter and even less about what =
local resident species need.  The winter grounds need study and protection =
as winter ranges are significantly smaller then breeding ranges and =
habitat loss and lack of information on the winter grounds very well may =
be the limiting factor in the survival of our birds and many resident =
species.  These banding stations not only help answer critical questions =
about overwinter survival and habitat use, but those that run these =
stations actively engage school groups and the public about birds and =
conservation.  A little on our end goes a very long way to protecting =
birds and their habitats.
