Book Description
Excerpt from Returns From Banded Birds, 1923 to 1926 Migratory waterfowl, particularly ducks, continue to furnish most of the returns, a fact readily explained from the millions of hunters in the field during the hunting season. Each hunter is a potential factor in return records for banded game birds, and occasionally also for banded birds of other classes. The possibilities of returns of nongame species are limited by the fact that, compared with the great numbers of hunters, less than persons were holding nongame-bird banding. Permits at the end of the year, although there are frequently chance recoveries of such banded birds from other sources. Furthermore, not all cooperators are operating trapping stations, so that the number of workers effecting returns from these two classes of birds is markedly disproportionate. Station operators are therefore entitled to special commendation for the excellent results they have already obtained.
