REPORT BANDED WATERFOWL TO WILDLIFE SERVICE

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) urges waterfowl hunters to report leg and neck band numbers they find on ducks and geese to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).  The recovery of waterfowl band numbers reveals scientifically valuable information necessary to monitor migration patterns and manage North America's ducks and geese.

The USFWS has implemented a toll-free number for hunters to report band numbers.  The toll-free number is 1-800-327-BAND.  The information to report is the band number, the date of harvest, and the county or area of harvest.

You can also report this information online. For information on what kind of band you have and how to report it online...visit this website.

In past years, band numbers had to be mailed in.  This can still be done by mailing information to: BIRD BANDING LABORATORY, 12100 BEECH FOREST ROAD, LAUREL, MD. 29708-4037.
Waterfowl bands are prized trophies to waterfowl hunters and do not need to be sent to the Wildlife Service.  In return for reporting band numbers, the cooperating hunter will receive a fact sheet and a certificate appropriate for framing.
