Duck Banding - Delta Waterfowl

Few things get more high fives, pictures and stories amongst waterfowl hunters than taking a banded bird. Duck hunters everywhere fondly remember their first band or a unique story of a band they collected, but few hunters get the opportunity to see how banding is done.

Join members of Deltas Minot Chapter and youngsters from the area on site at the J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge as they learn firsthand about how birds are banded. The pros from the USFWS explain the banding program and the importance of banding data for managing North American waterfowl. Enjoy this inside look at the USFWS banding efforts!
