The Field Biology Club opens up opportunities such as observing song sparrows with Dr.Houston who gave valuable information about the birds natural history. This club will allow you to get real hands on experience in the field just like these members. If you have any question email: [email protected] @ Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania

Shady Valley saw-whet owl banding station near Halifax, PA on Sunday, Oct 10, 2019. We hope to offer this fun field trip next fall!
Working at this station are Sandy and Gary Lockerman (Sandy is a federally permitted bird ba**er) and Kerri Milliken (a MLIS student at Penn State - Harrisburg). Saw-whets are currently migrating to (and through) PA. In the late Winter and early Spring, they will return North for breeding. Capturing, measuring, and banding these birds are crucial activities for learning their biology and conservation.
Sandy Lockerman is one ba**er who helps run the station. She has been banding birds (including thousands of owls and hummingbirds) for over 20 years. The Shady Valley station is part of the Northern Saw-whet owl research program supported by the Ned Smith Center for Art and Nature in Millersburg, PA. Since 1997, the Center has been a leader in Northern Saw-whet Owl research in Pennsylvania and is a part of a larger network of over 100 similar banding stations across the country.

This morning some Field Biology Club students headed out to the field to gain experience and participant in a research project Dr. Corbin is leading. His students are studying population genetics in Song Sparrows. Some highlights from mist netting and banding were Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Wrens, and Song Sparrows. If anyone is interested in joining and gaining experience in the field can contact [email protected]. All experience levels welcomed :) @ Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania
