Black Hills Audubon offers partial scholarship for teen to attend bird
banding camp

Over the past 8 summers, Puget Sound Bird Observatory has partnered with
Seattle Audubon to offer a five day bird banding camp for teens ages 15-18
years old. The location is in a primitive campground within Wenatchee
National Forest. Teens learn the basics of net placement, extraction and
handling, ageing, and sexing. A special emphasis is placed on the use of
molt to age birds. The Black Hills Audubon is offering a partial scholarship
in the amount of $500 to help pay for the cost of attending the camp. The
remainder of the cost, $50, would need to be paid by the applicant. The
scholarship is open to any teen ages 15-18 from Lewis, Mason, or Thurston
County. No prior birding or banding experience is necessary. Camp dates are
August 15-19th, 2011. To apply, send a letter of interest, including two
references, to: Black Hills Audubon Society c/o Banding Scholarship, PO Box
2524 Olympia, WA 98507. *The application deadline is July 20, 2011*. For
more information on the camp, please see Seattle Audubon?s website at:
