Last Saturday we went to a bird banding demonstration. In talking with the banders, we learned that we could observe their actual field work when they set up at Rollins Savanna today. Yippee! I'm really looking forward to it!
Bird banders attach small numbered and/or colored bands to birds as an aid to research. Bird banders are known as bird ringers in parts of Europe (I can never remember who calls them which term, they both sound natural to me). The highlighted shirts for this week have all been designed just for bird banders!
This design has a collegiate style. Property of Banding Dept is shown on a hoodie. Also available in Property of Ringing Dept.
This design, iRing, spoofs a popular iPod ad campaign. It has the silhouette of a songbird with a white ring around one leg. Also available in iBand.
This last shirt is the word Bander made of elements.

This week's highlighted birding t-shirt is inspired by one of the most popular animated feature films of all time: Finding Nemo. Finding Birds is done in a similar style to the poster art for the hit movie. This is a great gift idea for anyone who thinks...
