Fort Hunter Liggett, California Environmental team bands songbirds as part of their commitment to preserving America's natural heritage and preserving the ability for the Army to conduct training. Using a mist net, they capture the birds, then weigh and measure them, and apply an aluminum USGS band. If the bands are later recovered, it can give an idea of the bird's age, migration habits, and other data. The program providesl information to other national scientific organizations to track the health of birds and their environment. Pictured: Darlene Woodbury
