Birds are captured using fine nets and when researchers remove a bird from the net, a small, numbered metal band is placed on the bird’s leg. This is basically like wearing a bracelet; the band doesn’t impede the bird’s comfort or movement in any way and can remain attached for years. The number on the band is unique, so if the bird is ever caught again that bird can be identified and where and when it was originally caught can be determined. This allows scientists to easily gather information about longevity, demographics, and other population dynamics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc9265a40d1566d81b103ab/1632262521299-1DY77HZRCNQ7PSSAT2U3/banding.jpg Bird Banding - Banding birds lets people connect with science Bird banding also offers an incredible chance to connect people with nature and the scientific process. Seeing the birds that live alongside us in our parks and backyards up-close can spur people to become more engaged in their local greenspaces and build a better understanding about how our greenspaces provide valuable habitat. Bird banding also lets people see the scientific process unfolding in front of them and gives them a chance to learn from ecologists studying the wildlife that surrounds them on a daily basis. https://www.birdsofurbanbaltimore.org/home daily 1.0 2025-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc9265a40d1566d81b103ab/1632270932682-GZ1VCVJ3UCNKY5G6TW90/DSCN6900+%286%29.JPG Home - Upcoming Events Birds of Urban Baltimore works in parks and greenspaces across Baltimore City; we also provide educational programming to community partners and offer (paid) bird walks through our BURB Tours.

Environmental justice refers both to a recognition that access to greenspaces and the benefits they provide is not equitable across all communities; and to a commitment towards tackling this inequity, ensuring that all communities have access to the natural world and to environmental protections and education. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc9265a40d1566d81b103ab/1631127343913-LO9BUZOO7OTFOGKRX944/Copy+of+_DSC1082.jpg Environmental Justice - A better City for birds and people Communities with good access to greenspaces have been scientifically linked to lower crime rates, less noise and air pollution, and even more abundant options for healthy eating. Baltimore has an abundance of parks and other greenspaces, but many of our communities—especially lower-income and majority non-white communities—struggle to see any of the usual ecosystem benefits. By fostering a deeper connection to the greenspaces we have, helping to make additional greenspaces welcoming and safe for nearby communities, and producing high-quality environmental programming we hope to change this narrative and empower all of Baltimore’s communities. https://www.birdsofurbanbaltimore.org/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2022-05-16 https://www.birdsofurbanbaltimore.org/burb-a-thon daily 0.75 2023-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc9265a40d1566d81b103ab/c40356d9-9af8-48e4-83d1-e44ff45270e0/13243684_1292379867458458_2913861405511192470_o.jpg BURB-A-Thon - Participate in the 2nd Annual BURB-A-Thon!
