bands on snows

[Old Guide]

Jerknperch,did you get a report back on where the geese were banded? Canada? Texas?

[JerknPerchSD]

Got 2 of the 3 back...

First one was a male snow. Was banded on 8/08/1998 9 miles s/e of Johnson Point NT. It was too young to fly when banded.

Second one was a female blue. Was banded on 7/22/2004 47 miles s/e of Churchill MB. Bird was hatched in 2003

Havent heard back on the 3rd. It was a ross. I will post info when it comes in the mail

JerknPerchSD, that is some funny stuff to me because I shot a double banded(leg and neck) lesser snow, female that was banded in the exact same place as yours.(johnson point)It was banded in 2000.

My first band ever and it was the first pull of the trigger in MO.

A buddy of mine shot a bander Ross west of Rothsay, MN. Not sure on location but guides say they band a lot of them.
