Duck Banding

[Struttn1]

A few weeks ago I took my grandsons to a J.A.K.E.S. event. The local wildlife biologist brought 90 wood ducks that were trapped at an area refuge. They lined the kids up and let them help band and release the wood ducks. Here is a link to some video of my grandsons helping.

I think it is great to include the kids in something like this. They will learn young, and have more respect for nature at a younger age this way. I also bet he had a blast!!!!
