A Black-capped chickadee
receives both a numbered leg
band and colored leg bands.
The color bands will allow us
(and other Bird Watchers in the
BIV Bird Garden) to "re-sight"
these banded birds . We keep a
record of the banded birds we
have seen to report to the
Missouri River bird Observatory
to assist with their research.
Visitors are always welcome to
