Some of you know that I found a leg band from a bird on the hunt Satruday afternoon. I showed it to Noodle and she told me to get ahold of Kansas Fish and Game and they in turn told me to contact the USGS. I finally found out that the band came from the leg of a carrier pigeon/racing pigeon. I am still trying to track down all the particulars. Here is a link to the AU Socitey.

Hey ME that was a neat find. I just searched for pigeon band here, and there are several others who had found some. The same site is listed. Keep us informed what you find out.
