Bird Banding 2024

The Masonville Cove Partnership invites you to join Birds of Urban Baltimore and  our bird banding studies on campus! See the bird banding process up-close, and learn how urban greenspaces help migrating birds! Registration reserves your spot, walk-ins welcomed.

Note: Our schedule may change depending on weather conditions.

Bird banding staff arrive before sunrise, and visitors are welcome to observe the banding activities beginning as early as 8:00 AM. Please note the Masonville Cove site otherwise opens regularly at 9:00 AM but bird banding staff will be able to assist with any needed building access if visiting for banding. Please sign in at the kiosk at the front right side of the Education Center when you arrive onsite. You can also inquire within the Education Center building regarding any additional questions on arrival, or if restroom access is needed. Banding end times vary based on weather, staffing, and number of birds captured, but usually ends before 1:00 PM. Visitors are welcome to explore the trails onsite until 4:00 PM when the site closes.
