Banded Birds

(1/9) > >>

KP-Skagit:
My neck of the woods (Skagit Valley) does not seem to get many banded birds but over the weekend I got my first banded duck. That is 1 in a couple thousand average... Shot several banded snows over the years.

It was interesting data to see. Drake mallard. Banded in 2018, hatched 2017 or earlier in Fairview Alberta. So rough numbers about 8 years old which seems decently up there.

All the snows were from Wrangell Island, most were a couple years old, one was 14.

Thought it would be an interesting topic to discuss on here.

What bands have you all seen? How old were the birds? Where were they from.

salt n sage90:
One of my few Skagit Co. bands.
9+ year old bull Pintail.

metlhead:
2 from Delta, BC and 2 from Toppenish. Oldest bird was 2.

WSU:
I've got 2 out of thousands of birds.  1 was a teal banded at the Yukon delta and one was mallard from northern alberta that was something like 12 years old.  I don't remember exactly because it was years ago.

fowl smacker:
I've killed 5 banded birds over the years
2 mallards, 1 bufflehead, and 2 Canadian geese.  I can't remember all their ages, but one of the mallards was 9.
