Was out Tuesday playing with some different settings on a machine. Went off to an area I had not visited in a while. Been a while since I've seen one of these but second target out was another bird band. Around 6" or so. Reported the recovery and had the certificate the next day. The online reporting moves so fast anymore.

Banding information ties to a female Canadian goose banded in 1981. HH!

I'm gonna say a bucketlister for me. Congrats :icon_thumright:
 

I took one off a goose I shot. I'd love to find one detecting.
 

Nice find. Dont see them posted often but I like finding them. They turn up from time to time in my farm fields

Awesome find, congratulations! :icon_thumleft:
 

well done. didnt think they were interesting to people
should have posted the 10 i found on a piece or aluminum wire.
all in numerical order lol
 

Those are always neat little items to find. I have found 2 pigeon, 1 duck, and 2 geese bands. You are right about the online reporting. They send an email and you can print your own certificate right then and there. Congrats on your find.

Sounds like the biologist dropped those while banding birds. I'll bet there is no data on them if you call in the numbers.
