This male Northern Cardinal was banded in September 2011 at MBO and recaptured many times since then, his last visit was Tuesday. He is now at least 5 years old!!
This news page will publish primarily the weekly reports from our banding operations – plus occasional other items of general interest.

Hi all,
We had a great winter at McGill Bird Observatory. Hundreds of birds were fed all winter, including for the first time, a Tufted titmouse. Thanks to Bird Protection Quebec for the seed donation for our feeders.
Despite the last snowfall, spring is fast approaching at MBO! Spring Migration Monitoring starts on March 28 with the daily census. Banding will start on April 18 and end on June 1st. The schedule is now available on our WhenToHelp – reserve your spots soon!
We are currently updating our website and are looking for volunteers to help us translate the website from English to French. If this interests you, contact us at mbo@migrationresearch.org
Good birding,
