Could you find out? Am curious to know.
I remember last year several of the Woodrowes banded in MS were recovered in the Carolinas. They're Eastbound travelers I guess???

Growing up in far Western KY we killed several banded wood ducks. During one early season when they were really tracking their flight we killed 3 $100.00 reward bands. Years after that the rewards returned to $5.00. Kind of neat finding out that they had traveled from the East, West, North, and South. Furtherest we ever knew about came from up in Minnesota. Heck we even killed one that had been banded some where around Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
