Fall 2020 Updates

It's been an eventful few months in Fairbanks and across the world. We are excited to announce that we are operating the Creamer's Field Migration Station this fall while following national guidelines for banding safely during the pandemic. We have integrated protocols to help protect our crew, birds, and members of the community. It's with a heavy heart that I announce that the station will be completely closed to the public. I'll miss all the smiling faces and helping hands of volunteers, visitors and students. 

Our crew will do our best to share the season with you and hope you'll stay in touch with everything that happens through our blog, YouTube channel, Instagram and Facebook. We'd like to take a some time this season answering questions you have about the station, bird banding and birds. Let us know what burning questions you have! Submit your questions in the comments of this post and stay tuned for an answer later this season.

I'd like send out a huge thank you to our 2020 Adopt-a-Net sponsors! Your continued support through this challenging year has been critical at enabling us to continue with the 29th year of operation.

If you haven't renewed your membership or you'd like to sponsor our work at the station by Adopt-a-net, we could still use your help!

We thank you for your continued support and hope that this fall sees you safe and healthy.

Happy migration and best wishes,

Claire & the CFMS Crew

P.S. We had a great day out at the station. The gully deepens by the day, and Yellow-rump Warblers have made an early play for leader board in capture numbers.
