Title: Partial list of North American leg bands
Post by: ezsha on 06-Apr-10, 06:32:51 AM
I was searching around to see if I could find a listing of leg band information, and came across an extensive, but not all-inclusive, list of pf bands. As it focuses on the pfs of the midwest, none of the Rochester, NY falcons are on it (yes to Rochester, MN, however), but I thought it might be helpful when trying to identify non-native birds for those who follow other websites.  The list starts in 1989 and goes through 2008. A lot of other information is included, but you can look up a band by using the <Find> function on your web browser.

Does anyone know if there is a similar list available from anywhere else that would include our eastern continental birds?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, no eastern master database exists that I know of-at least not one available to the general public.

Wow, great list. I was going through it and just getting halfway, I counted over 100 deaths of fledglings. 1 hit by Lightning...a few died in smokestacks...1 in a road sign...1 mummified in a nest..the majority are window strikes or hit by cars. Lead poisoning in 1.. In Buffalo Wi, there were 4 eyas's and both parents were killed in a fight, moved to hack. A  few died from falling from the nest. Pretty sad the odds.

That just shows how great Mariah and Kaver were as parents that most of our kids made it. At least until they were out on there own.
