NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Researchers and volunteers with The Warner Parks B.I.R.D. Program are completing another day of spring bird banding on Wednesday.
Their work contributes to understanding the long-term health and viability of bird populations within the park while fostering respect for birds, their habitats and nature.
The group hosts year-round banding stations at the Warner Park Nature Center, conduct cutting-edge avian research, and engage in community outreach and education to sustain and enrich birds, their habitats, and each other.
The B.I.R.D. Program is open to Warner Parks visitors and avian enthusiasts. Those interested in volunteering can find more information here.
My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
