BANDING 'WATERFOW.L
The waterfowl of ,this ciintinent
migrate along what are mown as
flyways and a' , knowledge of mi-
gration habits, ' rentee and other
information is:necessary '1f we are
• to understand --the- conservaionut
these -birds, So; in: this article and
others that •will follow it, I yam
going to outline some^ of the ;things
We' know about dudks and geese.
It is true there Is Much till • to be '
learned about thee `birds but e
ough is .known. to indicate some of
the possibilities.
First, how.did we 'get this.knowl-
edge of • the flyways? For many
'years •.scieirtists and others have
been •banding• the.' waterfowl with
an aluminum band that carries a
serial number and a return address
. so that the band' when recovered'
wiill'''.be sent"back to .the proper
authorities, ,:Formerly banding• of
birds was carried out by, individ-
pals who . secured some important
information but•were •handicapped
in that all their recoveries were
from: dead .birds. Today the -Can-
edian and American, Governments;
co-operate on a' 'vast .scheme' of
bird banding,
The naturalist ; who wishes to'
band wild birds ,must first secure
•.•,a-peranit'-. Lrom• Ottawa.::1•the ..Lies
in . Canada • or from- Washington if.
lie live in the United States. When'
-ne .redeiveg the pe .,, .: .aso•,
receives •'the bands and a form tr at
he must fill out and'return to the
Bureau ' 'who sent him the .bands.
On ;this fain` are noted .the kind
of '. bird, the • sex, • if possible, the
number of, the band. placed on the,
bird, the date and 'the ,plane where
the bird .was- banded. This .inform=
ation is' kept on- file :in both Ot-
--taeva-and--Wasliingt�•rtr: -.
'Further -knowledge -of' the ' bird
comes , from .several sources. It •
maybethat another bander traps,
the bird. He notes the number and
releases the. bird. This `information
goes o ' e government. • Or, a
hunter •niay:. shoot the ' bird' or it
may be found.dead. In either case
' the band is rdturned, to •the Bureau
