Hi Larry,

I've just added the information below to the WOS page. The info. was
taken from the WOSNews:
=========
BAND RECOVERIES

("Avise" leg bands) should be reported to the National Biological Service.
Include the complete, exact band number, along with how, when, and where
the band was recovered, preferably with reference (miles and direction)
to the nearest town. Persons who report bands receive a Certificate of
Appreciation telling when, where, and by whom the bird was banded, so be
sure to include your full name and address with all reports. Report to:
Bird BAnding Laboratory, 12100 Beech Forest Road Suite 4037, Laurel MD
20708. E-mail: BBL at nbs.gov
Phone: (800) 497-BAND

Hope this helps,
