IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0RESEARCH: BSBO HAS CONDUCTED AVIAN RESEARCH SINCE 1992; INCLUDING STUDIES IN THE BREEDING AND MIGRATION ECOLOGY OF BIRDS THAT UTILIZE THE LOCAL, GLOBALLY IMPORTANT STOPOVER HABITAT, MONITORING POPULATIONS, MIGRATION ROUTES, AND FLIGHT ALTITUDES, ON PASSERINES, WATERFOWL, SHOREBIRDS, & RAPTORS. RESEARCHERS INVESTIGATE HABITATS SPANING FROM OAK OPENINGS IN WESTERN LUCAS COUNTY OHIO, NORTH INTO SOUTHERN MICHIGAN AND THE LAKE ERIE BASIN, AND EAST TO SHAKER LAKES IN CUYAHOGA COUNTY OHIO. ON AVERAGE, BSBO BANDS 12,000 BIRDS ANNUALLY, MORE THAN 600,000 IN TOTAL. BASED ON BIRDS PER NET HOURS FIGURES, BSBO'S NAVARRE MARSH BANDING STATION IS THE LARGEST OF ITS KIND IN THE UNITED STATES.
