	Isle of Man Government Manx National Heritage: - The Work of the Bird Observatory
		The Bird Observatory on the Calf was established in 1959 and became an official British Bird Observatory in 1962.
		The ringing of the birds is one of the main duties of the wardens of the Calf Observatory.
		By the end of the year 2001 99,042 birds of 134 species had been ringed since the Observatory opened of which 11,280 have been traced along their migration routes by other bird observatories.

	Who is the BBFO?
		Members of the Observatory and some of the locals from Gwynedd initiated the purchase of the island and formed the Trust, whose main aim is to conserve the rich heritage and natural history of the island.
		Bird migration is monitored using ringing and observational notes as tools; a census of birds on the island is undertaken daily and all birds recorded are logged.
		Birds that are re-trapped are of most interest, especially those found abroad, allowing a picture to be built up of the bird’s history and its travels.

		As these majestic bird's importance to the ecosystem was realized and the bounty lifted, the emphasis shifted from shooting hawks to studying them.
		Bird banding is a powerful tool used by WPBO to determine both the composition and the pathways of migrating raptors at Whitefish Point.
		Birds are caught using fine-mesh nets located in the woods at the Point, or at a blind using lures.

	SPURN BIRD OBSERVATORY
		Realising the potential of the Spurn peninsula for the regular observation of bird migration a group of enthusiasts, notably Ralph Chislett, George Ainsworth, John Lord and R.M. Garnett, had the idea of setting up a bird observatory, with the Warren Cottage at the northern end of the peninsula as an ideal headquarters.
		This was especially the case from 1964 when the current warden, Barry Spence, was appointed, in conjunction with the fact that an interest in birds and their migrations was steadily growing and more bird-watchers were staying at the observatory, often for longer periods.
		When the observatory opened there was accommodation for seven visitors in Warren Cottage and facilities included two chemical toilets, the Warren Heligoland trap and an ex-army hut as a ringing hut.

		Birds included Sharp-shinned Hawk, Whimbrel, Alder Flycatcher, Philadephia Vireo and 12 species of warbler, the best of which was a male Golden-winged Warbler that I had heard singing and located at the same time as a local birder.
		Target birds for Algonquin were Black-capped Woodpecker (which Gavin and Sue had seen the previous afternoon at Km 8 on Hwy 60) and Boreal Chickadee, birds that we had failed to find on our previous visit in 1998 and in Upper Michigan (and, in the Woodpecker's case, in California in 1999).
		Birds in migration in Michigan are usually posted on the Rare Bird Alerts, but are not often found for more than a day or two in any one spot.

	TUROY BIRD OBSERVATORY
		Turoy Bird Observatory is located on the outer coastline NW of Bergen, half an hours drive from the city centre.
		In 1997 we also tried to ring birds in May, with little luck, since this year the spring migration was very weak in Western Norway due to cold weather and unfavourable winds.
		Birds controlled at Turoy bird observatory this year.

		The Last Mountain Bird Observatory (LMBO) is a member of the Canadian Migration Monitoring Network, a Canada-wide network of observatories that has been established to monitor populations of migratory songbirds.
		Migratory song bird populations must be monitored as many species are in serious decline due to loss of breeding and wintering habitat.
		The birds are monitored through the use of a daily census and systematic use of mist nets.

	Thunder Cape Bird Observatory
		Bird populations in Canada are monitored by volunteers taking part in the Breeding Bird Survey every summer and Christmas Bird Counts in the winter, as well as other surveys in various locations.
		However, many bird species breed (or winter) in remote areas where it is next to impossible to keep track of their relative abundance.
		The Observatory is manned during bird migration in spring and fall.

	Copeland Bird Observatory
		Some quite old birds, up to 35 years ringed, were noted and some birds were caught which had not been handled for up to 27 years, indicating that our catching rate is currently insufficient to keep good tabs on the colony.
		The bird was originally ringed as an adult, meaning that it was hatched 1952 or earlier.
		It is therefore not possible to extrapolate an estimated population by assuming the density of birds discovered in the sampled walls and ditches may be applied to all the walls and ditches over the island.

		The Nevada Breeding Bird Atlas is the first state-wide inventory of Nevada's breeding birds.

		Because of the enormous geographic area, coupled with Nevada’s small (but active and growing!) birding community, it would have been impossible to survey all the topo squares (or other similar unit of area) within the state.
