(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.

Chiropractic & Sports Injury 1290 U.S. Highway 19 South 883-0042 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.
