Long-term Goldfinch Banding Project
I've been working with Jessi Brown on this project for several years. We have leg banded and collected morphometric data for goldfinches all over the Reno vicinity. This project has been maintained, in part, as an opportunity for undergraduate researchers to get involved in the scientific process.
