Nice, but no need to tell these bozos where you shot it at.

Not really. I live and hunt here. Have shot over 30 of the GWT bands from Alamo. Cool to see them getting killed all over the west coast. It’s a huge banding project targeting cinnies, but anything that gets caught gets banded by the bander. Usually about 90% green wings. It’s been an awesome project and has filled up lanyards and provided a ton of data.

Flyfisher, where else have You seen those Alamo bands killed ? Always interested in the details. I just scanned 20 pages of bands to see the 4 or 5 on here. Have seen them from Utah to northern Cali, down to Mexico and the Salton Sea. Super cool.

Thanks for the info! Had no idea.

Got my second band of the year this morning. Gadwall hen banded in 2017 near Summer Lake, Oregon. It was the second band of the morning as our first bird was a gadwall drake that was also banded. My buddy hasn’t submitted the info for that one yet. They were shot about an hour apart. The band on my hen only showed the first four numbers. The rest of the band was polished smooth. I used acid to etch the band and recover the rest of the numbers.
