Event: Neotropical Migratory Bird Fall Migration
Where: Altamaha River Bioreserve
When: September through October
The large tracts of mature, closed bottomland forests of the Altamaha River are a regionally important stopover and breeding site for a suite of bird species that migrate each year between summer breeding grounds in North America and wintering grounds in the neotropics. Each fall, Conservancy partners set up bird-banding stations, where more than 50 species of these birds are banded and released to track their migration route.

Open to the public. For more information on bird banding, contact JIBS at (912) 437-3333.
