Increased experience in many aspects of bird banding, including accurately aging birds using Peter Pyle's Identification Guide as reference, through working with a team led by a Master bird bander who holds a permit from the Bird Banding Laboratory. Featherbed Lane is a registered MAPS station where I also learned to assess birds for general health including presence of avian pox, record extensive metrics, take physical samples for DNA mapping and remove parasites.
