Golden-crowned Kinglet by Ashley Jensen

For the past 30 years, PEPtBO has collaborated with other conservation organizations and contributed banding data to major research projects, many of which have had a profound impact on our understanding of bird populations.

These projects are shared through reports, scientific and magazine articles.

PEPtBO’s Annual Reports:

PEPtBO publishes an annual banding report; detailing banding activities, recaptures, special research programs, and other observations.

2024 Yearly Banding Report

2023 Yearly Banding Report

2022 Yearly Banding Report

Black-throated Green Warbler

Other Reports:

These are reports that use data from CMMN stations, such as PEPtBO, as well as reports that acknowledge PEPtBO’s contribution.
