first band is always neat to aquire .......

I had a cable clipped on the the front of my 14ft duck boat (where the handle is in the front) , we clipped on many bands over the years, it was our good luck charm for us and the boat. Anybody that hunts the marshes close to the river in Ladner would probably agree that when the tide rips ya better know where you are and what direction you need to go !!

Take the band in and you can find out it's age and where it was tagged and so on and so fourth.

Good job on the ducks!!!!

Just email the US Fish and Wildlife with the info and you should receive a certificate within a month.

Reports for this year say there's about 42 million ducks in North America, yes and estimate

Various agencies band about 1 million birds per year

Recovery rates on bands is about 5%

If everything was evenly distributed, which it is not, there is .001% of the continental population that is wearing jewellery.

Getting a band is rare!
