An aqaintance of mine is very active in Ducks Unlimited. He was telling
me about their summer duck banding activity and invited me come along when
the time comes. During the summer molt, when the ducks are flightless,
they are herded up, captured and banded. What is the general opinion of
this activity? I am sure I would be unable to dissuade any of this
activity but at least for my conscience I would like to know if this was
particularly harmful to the birds and if it is a useful operation. He
also said they could use more help so if there is interest I will post the
details as I learn them.
