The Appledore Island Migration Banding Station

 

This page was created for the banders and band-aides at the Appledore Island Migration Banding Station.  Feel free to make suggestions on information I should post here. 

RESOURCES

• List of items you might want to bring to the island.
• How to get to SML (links to the SML page, including directions, parking, etc.)

ANNOUNCEMENTS

• I have begun preparing the Spring Schedule. We will open the station on May 9 and run until June 8 (folks will leave on the 9th).
• In addition to the banding, this year we will be monitoring the area around the new wind turbine for any bird mortality (the state of Maine is requiring this for the island to put up the tower).  The tower went up last summer and you can see the turbine at http://www.sml.cornell.edu/image/gallery/sml.turbine.jpg or at http://airmap.unh.edu/data/data.html?site=AIRMAPIS)
• Please pay for your stay after you leave the island.  All payments need to be made to the Shoals Marine Lab and should be sent to:
              Shoals Marine Lab
              G-14 Stimson Hall
              Cornell University
              Ithaca, NY 14853 
• The boat list is on the web (http://www.sml.cornell.edu/sml_event.taf), but you must let the island know when you plan to arrive.  Please call the island at (603) 964-9011 to verify the boat schedule and make sure they have room on that boat.
• Parking options remain the same (http://www.sml.cornell.edu/sml_gettingtosml.html has details).
• I have developed a listserve for the station so that we can send out general announcements.  Please let me know if you would like to be added, or know of others who should be added.
