Presented by Ken Heselton on behalf of the Brooks Bird Club, the tree clock is made from a section of oak tree that was removed from the north net area of the banding station. Inscribed on the back of the clock are names of both present and past volunteers that have worked for the banding station at AFMO. To view a PDF of what appears on the back of the clock, click here. |
