NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Researchers and volunteers with The Warner Parks B.I.R.D. Program are completing another day of spring bird banding on Wednesday.
Their work contributes to understanding the long-term health and viability of bird populations within the park while fostering respect for birds, their habitats and nature.
The group hosts year-round banding stations at the Warner Park Nature Center, conduct cutting-edge avian research, and engage in community outreach and education to sustain and enrich birds, their habitats, and each other.
The B.I.R.D. Program is open to Warner Parks visitors and avian enthusiasts. Those interested in volunteering can find more information here.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
