A volunteer holds a mallard that has been freshly banded near East Lansing. Every year, the DNR attempts to band ducks as part of a national survey, which focuses on mallards, wood ducks and black ducks. The mallards are affixed with aluminum bands; each with its own unique number, plus a phone number and address. Hunters who later harvest a banded duck are encouraged to report the bird's band number to the telephone number or address printed on the band. The goal of this program is to engage hunters in the collection of data about ducks and to help set quotas and establish hunting seasons that coincide with migration patterns.
A Kirtland's warbler, a rare and endangered bird, perched on a tree branch. Extensive work has been done to restore the habitat of the Kirtland's warbler, thereby increasing the population.
A group of DNR employees and volunteers hold onto Canada geese while their information is recorded and the are prepared to be banded. The DNR is responsible for banding hundreds of ducks and geese each year, with quotas set by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service according to local conditions. The banding process is performed by DNR employees and trained volunteers. Once the age and sex are recorded, a metal, pre-numbered, federal ID band is placed loosely around the goose's leg and gently pushed closed with a pair of pliers. Waterfowl hunters across the United States and Canada are asked to report any harvested birds with federal identification leg bands. Doing so assists waterfowl managers when it comes to setting future hunting seasons and bag limits.
