The Canadian bird bander's training manual : the instructor's guide / D. Shepherd ... [et al.].: CW69-5/276E-PDF

"The Instructor's Guide and the companion, The Canadian Bird Bander's Training Manual have been designed to complement each other and trainers are strongly encouraged to use both manuals together. They are the result of the collective work of many experienced banders and trainers from Long Point Bird Observatory. The motivating factors in the production of these two manuals have been to ensure the safety and welfare of the birds involved in any banding project, as well as to ensure that banders are well trained, have well designed projects and that the information gathered is accurate. The guide emphasizes training procedures as they relate to landbird species. Yet, all bander trainers will find this manual useful in many ways. This guide provides general advice for the trainer and the trainee, suggests the order in which the various banding skills can be taught, provides a series of useful training suggestions, as well as a comprehensive checklist of practical skills. Finally, a report card against which the progress of the trainee can be monitored is included"--Summary.
