Access For All

Banded birds provide important management information. If you shoot or find a bird with a US Fish and Wildlife Service leg band please call toll-free: 1-800-327-BAND (2263). These leg bands can also be reported via the Internet at: http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/homepage/call800.htm.

The information needed is:

• the band number

• species of bird

• hunter’s name and address

• date and location of harvest

The location should include the county and approximate distance and direction from the nearest town. You will receive a Certificate of Appreciation with information about the bird. The band is yours to keep.

Thank you.
