Shot a wooduck today dug around doing some research. The wood duck drake I killed was from readings PA banded by Nate huck (in video) on sep 15 2022. Pretty cool to see where and who banded him!

This is amazing to see. I am the 2021 PA Waterfowl Management Stamp/Conservation Print artist. I painted a pair of Wood Ducks in a Sycamore, titled "Sycamore Retreat". Someday I wish I could tag along to see this in person!

Is there a protocol for which leg gets banded for the sex of the bird on both ducks & geese ? Or is it just with the bander how they hold the bird ? I see some geese banded on the right leg. Thanx, "MICHIGAN GOOSEMAN'.

Hi! I'll be starting a bird banding project soon. Where do you get that blue crate? Is that specially made for ducks?

Did you check the year of those you turned loose? Chet O'Brien. You answered my question! But why didn't you have a year on it?
