Bird Banding
Every year Fishpoint Wildlife Association Members and DNR. spend the month of August setting traps and banding ducks and geese. You may ask why is banding so important?
Banding is a crucial element of waterfowl research. The data gathered through banding is essential in the understanding of specific species and the overall health of North America's waterfowl.
