I have seen a banded Black duck. 10 yr kid killed it. I know when they band ducks they band everything that they catch in the net. There was a band off of a coot for sale on E-Bay someone had posted the link onhere.

19 birds w/ 20 leg bands + 1 neck collar. 9 mallards, 1 black, 2 woodies (killed 9 days apart in the same hole banded in 2 different locations), 1 pintail, 3 canadas (1 double banded w collar), 1 blue goose, and 2 doves. Probably seen 30-32 bands including mine killed over the years.

Never seen a grey duck with a band, but know a farmer in AR that picked one up a couple years ago. Also this year, one group in AR killed 4 bands this year including a banded hen spoonie. Dont know why, but I really want a banded blue wing. Prolly cause they cover a lot of ground in the fall migration. That and of coarse a miner & reward band! :mrgreen:

Penguin is kinda tough, and it's hard to keep their feet from sticking out the top of the pot

What are these band thingies everyone speaks of? I thought they were urban myths started by the government to keep white guys in waders.

1 banded male ringneck and wood duck.
