National Zoo bird banding tracks movement and decline finds
Smithsonian National Zoo ornithologist Brian Evans and Tara Snedgen lead Saturday bird banding events with house sparrows and tufted titmice. They tag each bird with color bands, aiming to illuminate urban versus rural bird survival and mitigate causes of decline amid urban hazards. The program, ongoing since 2017, plans public observation through an app and live feeds, with prior results documenting over 1,000 banded birds and thousands of color identifications.
