Same for me, never had a banded bird, had a 29 in crib once playing with someone that didn't know how to play. I subscribe to Wild Fowl mag, they have section about bands where subscribers send in stories about banded birds. They have a map of N. America that shows where the bird in the story was banded and where they were harvested and have how many miles the bird had traveled. Some of the birds that were quite old when harvested is amazing how many miles that bird would have traveled if on each migration the returned to where they were banded and then return to around where they were harvested.
