Title: Question Regarding Banding Post by: patsy6 on 24-Mar-13, 08:43:36 PM If Pigott has eyases this year, I'm betting there's absolutely no chance that they will be banded, even though both of their parents are banded. Am I right? There's no obscure law that says eyases of banded parents have to be banded if their whereabouts is known and reachable, and the owner of the property has to give access for the banding, is there? I think I'm just hoping against hope.

And if they never come to ground, oh well. That said, if there are eyases DEC might be more pro-active with the owners rather than the current wait & see policy.
