More than just metal: Banding provides essential information
What’s in a band?
We’re not talking about musical geniuses that sing and play in harmony, but referring to the Service’s black duck banding efforts.

This important effort helps establish hunting seasons that maintain a healthy number of ducks within their habitat.
