duck band

[diggintim]

Found what appears to be a duck or turkey band today while detecting in a local park in Ohio. Does anyone know if there is a web site where you can enter the number on the band to date and find location of banded bird? Thank You in advance

Good find. There should be a number and date on the band, go to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife website, and I believe you will find the link to find out when and where the waterfowl was banded. If you think the band is from a turkey, your state fish and wildlife dept. should have the info.

All duck and goose bands I have seen usually have a phone number on them. It is so u can call and give info where they were harvested "shot". Then they will send u a certificate for the band stating where it was banded and migrated from. If yours is a duck or goose band, judging by size a duck band, it must be pretty old.
