Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role of banding data in migratory game bird management. The procedures followed in analyzing these data and the assumptions made are also outlined. This information is desired not only to better understand and justify expensive banding programs, but also to provide guidance to those wishing to analyze banding data. This understanding is essential, not only to effectively use the resulting data, but also to make correct decisions in the field while banding. A realization of how banding data are used emphasizes the importance of many details, such as the accurate age and sex determinations in the field and the correct reporting of this information on banding schedules. |
