The following are ways to get involved in citizen science activities. (Be sure to scroll down to view additional upcoming and/or on-going opportunities.)
Audubon North Carolina began banding Royal and Sandwich Terns with field-readable bands this year (2023). Ours are black with white lettering. As with black-banded Black Skimmers, please report them through the Bird Banding Lab's portal at www.reportband.gov or email at laddison@audubon.org.
Since 2018, the Virginia Tech Shorebird Program has been banding seabirds with white plastic field-readable (PFR) bands that have alphanumeric codes in black text.
If you have seen any of these banded birds, please report this information to vt.plover@gmail.com
