Dear all,

there is no Biology seminar this Thursday – instead, as part of the Citizen Science week (https://www.oulu.fi/en/events/citizen-science-week) there is a special zoom session on bird ringing at 10 on Friday 20th – see info below!

Cheers, Heikki

Have you ever wondered how scientists track bird migration, monitor populations, and study bird behavior through bird ringing? Or maybe you've always wanted to ring birds but didn’t know where to begin? Join us onlinehttps://oulu.zoom.us/j/66194349359 https://oulu.zoom.us/j/66194349359 on September 20 at 10:00-12:00 for a special lecture by Jari Valkama from the Ringing Center to discover the purpose of bird ringing and learn how you can become a ringer yourself! We will provide guidance about the training, exams, and practical experience needed to become a licensed ringer. The lecture will also cover the ethical considerations involved in bird ringing, and specific techniques used in monitoring birds of prey in Finland. Zoom: https://oulu.zoom.us/j/66194349359
