So, I found a bird band while on vacation and finally got around to reporting it. When I submitted the information online the website gave me a pop-up warning asking me to verify the information before submitting it because the bird band (number) was "unusually old". I got excited and double checked the number. I noticed the website kept auto-correcting the number by placing a zero infront of the 3 digit prefix. Anyway, when I submitted the info and got the report it said the band was from 2003?
I feel like the "write" stamp must predate 2003. Anyone have experience reporting bands or knowledge about dating them?
