Hi Kathy, I've heard that you do a lot of bird banding. I'm interested in acquiring banding experience, and eventually becoming licensed. I've volunteered at the Jug Bay MAPS station, and I'm looking forward to spending more time there this summer. I'm also taking a banding course through IBP this summer; (with the help of grants from Montgomery County MOS/state funds) After I complete the course, I'd like to find a place where I can consistently apprentice for a while. Ultimately I'm looking towards reopening Adventure, hopefully as a MAPS station. However, I know I need to "earn my wings", so to speak, through lots of field/ banding experience first. Any advice you could give me would be much appreciated! Thanks very much, Gemma Radko gradko@aspensys.com P.S. Sorry to send this to the whole list, but I couldn't find your individual e-mail address.
