SOCIAL CIRCLE, Ga. (No
vember 2. 2001) - The banding
of birds allows wildlife biologists
to gather data important to re
search and management projects,
including migration patterns,
population estimates, health, be
havior and life spans. The Geor
gia Department of Natural Re
sources, Wildlife Resources Di
vision (WRD) encourages migra
tory bird hunters who harvest
banded birds or anyone who finds
a banded bird to report it by call
ing 1-800-327-BAND. Water-
fowl season for most species
opens November 17. 2001 in
Georgia.
"It is essential for hunters to re
port birds with bands for the de
velopment of waterfowl hunting
regulations because it allows the
Division to assess hunting pres
sure on duck and Canada goose
populations," says WRD State
Waterfowl Biologist Greg
Balkcom. "It also is important to
note that banding data provides
important information not only
relative to game birds but to the
health of all bird populations."
The U.S. Department of the In
terior and the Canadian Wildlife
Service jointly administer the
North American Bird Banding
Program. These two agencies
have overseen the banding of
more than 57 million birds in the
United States and Canada since
the program began in 1923. More
than one million birds are banded
each year, including ducks, geese,
hummingbirds, doves, birds of
prey and shorebirds. The Migra
tory Bird Treaty Act regulates the
banding of birds and allows only
those people who hold a federal
banding permit to band birds.
Georgia also requires bird band
ers to have a scientific collector's
permit before catching and mark
ing birds. The majority of bird
banders are federal and state per
sonnel, university researchers and
ornithologists.
Researchers use many different
types of bands on birds. The
types of bands that need to be re
ported are inscribed with CALL
1-800-327-BAND and WRITE
BIRD BAND LAUREL MD
20708 USA. This information is
followed by an eight or nine digit
number. There are several band
sizes that fit everything from a
hummingbird to a Trumpeter
Swan.
Individuals should report birds
with bands to 1-800-327-BAND,
between the hours of 7:30 a.m. -
5:00 p.m. The operator will want
to know the band number and
how, when and where the bird
was recovered. Anyone who
finds a band can keep it, and they
will receive a certificate of appre
ciation that contains information
about the bird from the Bird
Banding Laboratory after they
report the band.
"Historically, only 32 percent of
hunters that recovered a band
went to the trouble of reporting it
due to the reporting process, but
since the inception of the 1-800-
327-BAND number approxi
mately 80 percent of hunters are
now reporting bands," says
Balkcom. "In essence, biologists
now get almost three times as
much data as we used to, without
having to band more birds.
For more information about re
porting banded birds, contact the
nearest WRD Game Management
Office or call (770) 918-6416.

In fishen on has luck or one

not having ever played golf, heard
the story of Spencer Davis on the
16th hole at Olympia Spa in Dot
han with his hole in one, then 2
weeks later his father Onion
Davis on the same course and the
same hole gets his hole in one
also.
This reminds me also of the

caught here on ole Sem. & did not
weigh in on proper scales. This
fish was not given credit by At
lanta Game & Fish. Mr. Tyson
was upset but not perplexed, as I
would have been. He goes back
fishen 3 wks later & caught a 16.4
lbs bass on a notch back worm
on the same log as the first. The
golf story came from Coach
Kenney & Jordan of Dothan &
the fish story from the cobwebs
of my own brain.
The bass was a hit and miss over
the weekend. Some clubs did
good and others just so-so. Don
Kollinger won the Hernando Bass
Club’s Fish Out with 8.86. John
Foss won the Valdosta Christian
Bass Club’s Fish Off with 12.6.
Beryl & Jessie Williams of Lake
City Fla. won the 2-day event (So.
Bass) with 35.3. Some of the win
ning strings were the ole bronze
fish from up the Flint.
The one thing that all the bass
we saw caught this weekend was
the fact that they all were fat &
football looking. The lake & the
fish are in very good shape.
The bass were taken on Texas
rigged worms, Carolina Rigs,
Traps & diving baits. Its a mixed
bag but thats what we heard them
say.
The specks did very well most
of the week in spite of the high
winds that continue to blow. A
Dothan pair launched their boat
& it wouldn’t crank so they left
on the trolling motor. Three hours
later they came back, loaded up
& had a big mess of perch. They
took them on jigs mostly.
The ducks and coots are still
coming south & Seminole is fill
ing up with them. Them enfernal
water turkeys are here also.
