Partners In Flight

COTERC and Partners in Flight monitor migratory birds as they pass through the station property. COTERC provides access to Cano Palma Biological Station where mist nets are deployed to capture birds. Representatives from Partners in Flight catalogue the species that are captured and fit each bird with leg bands if they do not already have one.
