Powdermill Avian Research Center Open House

Join us for an Open House to celebrate the grand opening of our new bird banding laboratory! Open House days are free behind-the-scenes experiences for people to visit the bird banding lab and see up-close how researchers safely capture and band birds and learn about the data they gather. Visitors can also visit PARC’s flight tunnel and learn how we study avian perception of glass to provide glass manufacturers and building designers important information that will help reduce bird-window collisions. You’ll also get to chat with the scientists on staff about the other exciting projects at PARC.This event is weather dependent and will be canceled due to heat (>78 degrees), strong winds, or inclement weather.

Drop in at any time between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. (We recommend arriving as early as possible for the best chance to see a variety of birds.) Registration recommended but not required .
