McGILL BIRD OBSERVATORY |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
One of the objectives of any banding program is to recapture previously banded birds. Often these are locally breeding, wintering, or year-round resident individuals, and their recapture provides much valuable information about longevity, site fidelity, timing of migration, and more. However, occasionally a previously banded bird has a more exotic origin - i.e. it was banded somewhere other than where it was recaptured. This is quite a rare event, but nonetheless, such encounters help provide us with a cumulative picture of the nature of dispersal and migration for each species. On this page we summarize the foreign recoveries that have involved MBO. Foreign recoveries of birds banded at MBO:
