Chickadee Colour Banding Project will Help Researchers and Bird Watchers
The chickadees at the U of G Arboretum sport black caps like any others. But many of them are also flashing new colours this fall.
Resident members of Poecile atricapillus are being colour banded for potential bird and population studies by campus researchers, says Chris Earley, the arboretum’s interpretive biologist and education co-ordinator.
