	USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center Bird Banding Laboratory
		Bird banding is an universal and indispensable technique for studying the movement, survival and behavior of birds.
		The North American Bird Banding Program is jointly administered by the United States Department of the Interior and the Canadian Wildlife Service.
		Their respective banding offices have similar functions and policies and use the same bands, reporting forms and data formats.

		Flags are plastic colored bands with an extra tab that protrudes and identifies the country in which the bird was originally banded.
		The birds were weighed and measured, checked for wing moult, carefully banded with metal and color bands and flags, and released to return to their flock.
		These banded birds help the researchers understand how long red knots can live, how well they survive, and what habitats and locations are important to their survival along the flyway.

	SFBBO - Why We Band Birds - Bird Banding (Site not responding. Last check: )
		We, along with most other banding facilities in North America, send all of our banding data to the Bird Banding Laboratory (which is part of the USGS), which stores all of this information.
		SFBBO, we band to study seasonal and long term population patterns of migratory, wintering and year-round resident birds as well as their association with surrounding habitat.
		Having collected banding data for years has allowed us to look at many different facets of the resident and migrant bird populations on Coyote Creek, and their relation to the surrounding habitat.

	Homing Pigeons
		Close communication should be had with the Paymaster, to ascertain the arrival of the birds at the first practicable moment, and to arrange for their immediate transportation to the location of the loft.
		On the day selected, the birds should be fed rather lightly in the morning and kept rather sharp so as to have their appetites assist in bringing them back to the loft after their first flight in the open air.
		Birds should by all means be liberated in the forenoon while undergoing this initial training and must not be fed until they return from their journey and enter the loft, when a small quantity of hemp or canary seed may be given.

	Bird Bands (Site not responding. Last check: )
		These bands were frequently used in quaratine stations when the USA used to import birds.
		For instance, my cockatiel Melonie's band says "CA LS 92 52." This means she was bred in California (the state is often written sideways), her breeder's initials or business abbreviation is L.S., she was hatched in 1992 and her ID # is 52.
		If a bird is purchased and then later returned the seller can verify that the returned bird is in fact the same one sold.

	Bird Banding and Migration
		Banding studies of waterfowl of the Old Crow Flats have shown that the migration of these birds is along all four of the North American Flyways: Pacific, Central, Mississippi, and Atlantic (Figure 11.6, from Hawkings 1999).
		Banding returns show that greater white-fronted geese banded on the Flats appear to follow the central flyway through the Canadian prairies to the central United States (Hawkings 1999).
		Banding recoveries of young peregrines at Lesser Slave Lake in Alberta and in Maryland, U.S.A., in fall of 1978 confirm that the young peregrines from the Old Crow-Porcupine River area migrate southeast to the eastern coast of North America (Mossop 1978).

	Frames: For the Birds: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		For the Birds opens with a plaintive, soothing instrumental aptly titled "In the Deep Shade." Guitar harmonics, brushed drums, violin and a smattering of piano eddy about calmly, sometimes moving forward rhythmically for a bar or two, but never truly settling into a prolonged groove of any kind.
		The band handles noise best on "Headlong" by balancing it with resolutely melodic violin and lead guitar parts, which isn't to speak of the way they easily morph the gentle chorus refrain into an aching plea for help in the raging bridge.
		Perhaps the album's single greatest flaw is that the band have chosen to concentrate almost too much on the slow and sparse, but they do it well enough that it's hard to complain too much.

	Massabesic Bird Banding Station - Article - Auburn, NH
		Since the project's goal is to monitor birds over a long-term period, a parcel land of at least 20 acres must be available (preferably protected) for a minimum of 5 to 10 years and the station operators must intend to operate the station for that duration.
		We became licensed bird banders, subpermitted under Dr. Sara Morris of Canisius College in Buffalo, NY (Master Bander at the Appledore Station), and acquired state and federal permits to operate mist nets and band birds in New Hampshire and Maine.
		Each new species that we band is special (this year we added seven species), and particularly exciting were the return of 6 birds we banded last year.

	Australian Bird and Bat Banding Scheme - Why Band Birds and Bats

		If one of those birds is caught again, the ABBBS can calculate the minimum distance it has travelled (of course, the bird may have travelled much further before being recaptured).
		In the process of revising the recommended band sizes for all Australian bat species we have found that the bands used on a number of Microchiropteran species are causing high rates of band injury.

	Bird ID References
		If your bird has a domestic closed metal U.S. band it may identify the domestic aviary and the state where the aviary is located, supposedly the owners of the parent birds, as well as the year of hatch.
		If your bird has a domestic closed band marked AFA, the band comes from the American Federation of Aviculture of which the breeder should have been a member at the time the bird was banded.
		If your bird has a domestic closed metal band marked SPBE, the band comes from the Society of Parrot Breeders and Exhibitors of which the breeder should have been a member at the time the bird was banded.
