The Nebraska educational bird banding station gives students the opportunities to
see birds in the hand. This experiential learning provides students with the opportunity
to observe data collection, to learn about bird adaptations, conservation issues,
behaviors, habitat requirements, and migration patterns. Students are able to interact
with the ponderosa pine and shortgrass prairie environments with the banding stations
as a focal point. Information provided at the banding station goes beyond birds
and emphasizes the importance of our native habitats for healthy human and wildlife
communities. This hands-on learning helps create an awareness and appreciation for
Nebraska’s biodiversity.
