The Canadian Snow Bunting Network (CSBN) is a collaborative network of researchers and volunteers monitoring the migratory and wintering behaviour of Snow Buntings in Canada. Currently based in southern Ontario, the network is hoping to expand into the Prairies, Quebec, and the Maritimes.
Banding wintering Snow Buntings is the CSBN’s only reliable way of monitoring the health of birds, as it is very difficult to access most breeding populations. If you are a landowner and feed Snow Buntings on your property, or if you are a bird bander and would like to help us improve our understanding of this species, the CSBN would like to involve you in trapping and banding efforts this winter.
If you are interested in helping, please contact Dr. Oliver Love at olove@uwindsor.ca, 519-253-3000 ext. 2711.
