I know you will enjoy it as much as I do.<br /><br />Hi Jayne,<br />It really is pretty neat. Just the chance to hold the birds and see them up close is so cool.<br /><br />Hi Ray,<br />The first Sunday afternoon of every month Quarry Hill has bird banding, so be sure to check it out some Sunday if you're interested (they will let you release a banded bird if you want to)<br /><br />Hi Gaelyn,<br />To tell you the truth, I'm a lot more intimidated by 3rd graders than I am by getting birds out of the nest, so not having the kids show up was actually a good thing for me! It sounds like there are other Bird Adaptations classes, so I could try volunteering for another one in the future.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-81350948493054868892010-01-07T16:44:28.963-06:002010-01-07T16:44:28.963-06:00What an awesome experience.

Am really glad I got acquainted with Quarry Hill last year as (believe it or not) I had never been there before.troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-10928382308292298892010-01-07T09:47:52.216-06:002010-01-07T09:47:52.216-06:00What an amazing experience to have Ruthie!

I am sure it causes the birds some frightening moments though.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892804871759397018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-12258587288795332972010-01-07T06:09:34.678-06:002010-01-07T06:09:34.678-06:00Hi Mom,

I had to laugh as it was pecking me so hard with its tiny little beak!<br /><br />Hi Lynne,<br />I'm pretty fortunate because Quarry Hill's always in need of volunteers. They have bird banding Sunday once a month and then opportunities like the Bird Adaptations class in between. I'm on their volunteer list now, so they contact me for bird stuff which is very cool I think!<br /><br />Hi Larry,<br />The birds do calm down quite a bit once they're out of the net. I took a Downy Woodpecker out also and was very surprised to notice that she really smelled like suet!RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-52609000865164258122010-01-06T19:34:43.978-06:002010-01-06T19:34:43.978-06:00I like seeing those birds held in a grip.They look...I like seeing those birds held in a grip.They look rather calm considering.-That Hairy has quite the bill on it.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955054342034509500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-11686169210369736332010-01-06T18:54:32.552-06:002010-01-06T18:54:32.552-06:00Oooh- I'm so envious of your participation in ...Oooh- I'm so envious of your participation in bird banding.
