If the information has been entered into the system and you enter it via the computer it will let you know if it is a drake or hen.  Time to start guessing guys?  You have a 50/50 chance of getting it right.

everyone who said drake is right, it was
it was banded 35 miles southeast of nulato, yukon-koyukuk census area, alaska on august 13 of this year
it was banded 2 months and 6 days before I shot it did not give him very much time to get educated did i?

[Dustin07]

cool stuff. good travels

Now you can have it mounted with the band or throw it on your lanyard.  The last several banded birds I shot that were good quality I had left the bands on and had them mounted.

[ducksdoom12]

im gonna mount it with the band on it, mainly cuz its my first band.

Very cool....and congrats!

[Skyhigh]

I would say that is a first year male, not a female...Nothing wrong if it was a hen...You might have a delay in reporting as many bio's have yet to submit their data...

Ahh...I still have it! without even looking at a cloaca...
