What is Park Flight? Park Flight is a partnership between the National Park Service, National Park Foundation, and National Fish & Wildlife Foundation/USAID. The Park Flight Migratory Bird Program works to protect shared migratory bird species and their habitats in both U.S. and Latin American national parks. Park Flight has funded bird conservation and education projects in 14 U.S. national parks, including Bandelier National Monument.
Field Trips The Park Flight Migratory Bird Program will be offered for the fourth year in Bandelier National Monument. PEEC will be coordinating the field trips and educational component of the program, inviting sixth graders from Los Alamos, northern New Mexico, and area Pueblos to learn about migratory birds. If you are a 6th-grade teacher, please download the field trip flier at the following link

Student Objectives The Park Flight objectives are two-fold. The bird-banding component helps us better understand scientific observation of migratory birds in Northern New Mexico. The student-education component teaches young people about animal-habitat relationships, geography of North and Central America, and problem solving skills through field trips and classroom presentations.
