From a post to the Young Birder Yahoo!group:
Puget Sound Bird Observatory Banding Scholarship
- Are you under 26 (or thereabouts)?
- Are you interested in working with wildlife as a career?
- Are you looking for a way to develop valuable skills without breaking the bank?
Puget Sound Bird Observatory is offering a $350 scholarship for our Cascades Banding Camp (that covers 50% of the cost). Learn how to band birds Aug. 16-23 in Washington's Cascade Mountains with expert banders and trainers. This seven-day camping trip will feature riparian and mountain birding and banding at several locations with opportunities to see and possibly handle great Northwest birds like Williamson's Sapsucker, Hammond's Flycatcher, and MacGillivray's Warbler.

And an update: WINGS is going to add to that scholarship to further reduce the expense for a young birder or ornithologist to take part.

Fabulous news, Rick! Thank you for the update.
Thanks for posting the scholarship here.
Our scholarship recipient, Tayler Brooks, is having an incredible experience. Some of the group's banding highlights include an American Three-toed Woodpecker, A Wilson's Snipe, and a White-winged Crossbill. Take a look at our banding camp blog for field notes (http://psbocascadesbandingcamp.blogspot.com)
