North American Bird Banding Retrieval Files
Entry ID:

Summary
Abstract:
Bird banding is a universal and indispensable technique for studying the
movement, survival and behavior of birds. Data is collected by numerous permitted individuals in both countries. The North American Bird Banding Program is jointly administered by the U.S. Geological Survey Biological Resources Division and the Canadian Wildlife Service. Their respective banding ...  Purpose: Banding and encounter data are gathered and filed for the purpose of facilitating migratory bird research in North America. Waterfowl banding and encounter data are used by federal, state and provincial wildlife agencies in combination with other data sets, to help set federal hunting regulations. In addition, many states and provinces use banding and encounter data as a component of both game and non-game studies. Both banding and encounter data can be combined with other data for work on bird distribution, migration, survival, mortality, population size, and other demographic parameters.

Quality
Numerous edits in order to maintain high quality.
A summary record can represent from 1 to 100,000 birds. The summary records do not contain complete band number. All encounters from 1908 to present that have been reported. In this program are included all game birds from 1908 and all nongame birds from 1955 to present.
Access Constraints
Information may be withheld where endangered or threatened or
sensitive species are involved. To protect their interests, a "Policy on Release" is included with each request, describing current limiting criteria.
Use Constraints
Bird Banding data maintained in the computer
files have been gathered at a significant cost to the many persons and agencies who cooperate in the North American Bird Banding Program. These cooperators have certain proprietary interests in the data they produce. The person who first bands a bird has prior publication rights to any data resulting from that banding and/or subsequent encounter of that band. Information may be withheld where endangered or threatened or sensitive species are involved. To protect their interests, a "Policy on Release" is included with each request, describing current limiting criteria. Data Set Progress
