MVCA has 4ird. info
It's very easy to pick up a book
and read about the habits of
,migratory- waterfowl in Canada.
But, have you ever wondered how
all that information was
collected?
Organizations ,throughout
Canada and the United State have
been studying the migratory
patterns of ducks and geese for
many years.
One of these. North American
agencies is Ducks Unlimited (DU),
an organization dedicated to
retain waterfowl habitats in North
America.
Each year, DU, biologists band
hundreds of ducks and geese. To
date, banded waterfowl number*
well over '1(0,000.
-By recording where the banded
birds are found, biologists learn .
factural infOrmation about
waterfowl habits. Most
importantly, they can calculate
changes in bird population.
Migratory patterns of the birds
can also be plotted.
Bands for North American are
distributed by the' U;S:i Bureau of -
Sport Fisheries and Wildlife,
opeating from the Migratory Bird
Populations Station at Laurel
Maryland. The station also acts as
a record library with duplicate
information copies going • to
Ottawa:
The most popular method of
banding ducks and geese is by the
use Of •a "bait trap".
A cage, constructed of chicken
wire, is placed in marshes where
waterfowl nest. The entrance to
the cage is funnel-shaped so that
when the birds enter the cage to
eat the grain bait that is left for
them, they are unable to escape.
staff visit the cages each
morning to band and release tire
birds caught during the night.
