Grant Description: The USFWS and the CWS have had an ongoing duck banding effort In Canada for many years. Numerous ducks are captured and banded at over 20 sites in prairie Canada. The proposed study is to provide students to continue banding ducks at summer breeding grounds. The objective of this study is to band ducks at summer breeding grounds through participation in the cooperative US - Canada waterfowl banding program. Selected individuals and vendors will be supervised in the field with regard to data processing by a Service employee, and may have to work with local indigenous population on Indian Reservations. Individuals will conduct a waterfowl banding operations at several locations located within various provinces of Canada, to include extremely remote sites in the Northwest Territories.
