Our Conservation team has been having a busy MAPS season! 🐦✨

MAPS stands for Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship—a standardized protocol that helps us better understand the breeding success, survival, and behavior of birds across North America. If you’re interested in getting involved with our song bird band efforts, our upcoming trainings are now live - link in our bio!

Here’s a peek at just some of the amazing birds we’ve captured (and released!) over the past two months during our banding sessions:

Left column (top to bottom): Western Tanager, Lark Sparrow

Middle column (top to bottom): Downy Woodpecker, Black-capped Chickadee, MacGillivray’s Warbler

Right column (top to bottom): Cedar Waxwing, Yellow Warbler, Bullock’s Oriole

**These birds were handled for the purpose of scientific research under a federally authorized Bird Banding Permit issued by the U.S. Geological Survey and in accordance with all state permitting requirements.**

Join us at the Nature Center at Pia Okwai for an evening celebrating Utah`s nocturnal plants and animals! 🦇🍃🌙

Activities will include a close-up look with Utah Division of Wildlife Resources on bat ecology and conservation, an environmental fair featuring conservation partners from across the valley, a fireside chat (with marshmallows) and more!

This event is FREE and open to the public, but registration is encouraged. Register at the Nature Center`s website. See you there!
