It's time to report Bird Bands
courtesy of TWRA

Call: 1-800-327-BAND

 The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) urges waterfowl hunters to report leg and neck band numbers they find on ducks and geese.  The recovery of waterfowl band numbers reveals scientifically valuable information necessary to monitor migration patterns and manage North America's ducks and geese.

 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has implemented a toll-free number for hunters to report band numbers.  The toll-free number is 1-800-327-BAND.  The information to report is the band number, the date of harvest, and the county or area of harvest.

 In past years, band numbers had to be mailed in. This can still be done by mailing information to: BIRD BANDING LABORATORY, U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, LAUREL, MD.  29708.

 Waterfowl bands are prized trophies to waterfowl hunters and do not need to be sent to the Wildlife Service.  In return for reporting band numbers, the cooperating hunter will receive a fact sheet and a certificate appropriate for framing.
