Welcome to BBMP!

In partnership with Baton Rouge Audubon Society, Recreation and Park Commission for the Parish of Eastern Baton Rouge (BREC) and Louisiana State University, we initiated our first bird banding operation located in Baton Rouge called the Bluebonnet Bird Monitoring Project. BREC is providing access to their Bluebonnet Swamp 'conservation area' which comprises some of the last vestiges of mature bald-cypress swamp and adjacent upland forest in Baton Rouge. Two objectives guide the formative stages of our banding operation: (1) monitor resident and migrant bird populations using banding data combined with other census techniques and (2) provide extensive outreach and training opportunities for the community of Baton Rouge.

This site is dedicated to progressing our knowledge of bird molt in southern populations of birds. There is much to learn about bird molt in even common US birds, especially along the Gulf Coast where there are few year-round banding stations. One of our goals is to fill that gap while contributing to a broader knowledge of bird demography. Learn more about about our program at http://www.braudubon.org/bluebonnet-swamp-bird-monitoring.php
