Bird Banding In Canada

"This volume (v.3) is part of a series intended to summarize, for the first time, bird-banding results for Canada. The series includes data on birds banded in Canada or banded elsewhere and encountered in Canada. Although limited in geographic scope, the data depict movement patterns that are typical for North America as a whole. The current volume (v.3) deals with raptors (hawks and owls), vultures and various waterbirds (loons, grebes, cranes, herons, and rails)."--Pub. desc

Summarizes, for the first time, bird-banding results for Canada, including data on birds banded in Canada and those banded elsewhere but encountered in Canada. Although limited in geographic scope, the data depict movement patterns that are typical for North America as a whole. The current volume deals with seabirds (albatrosses, petrels, gannets, cormorants, pelicans, jaegers, gulls, terns, and auks).

The Canadian Bird Bander's Training Manual and the companion, The Instructor's Guide have been designed to complement each other. Both are the result of the collective work of many experienced banders and trainers from Long Point Bird Observatory. The motivating factors in the production of these manuals have been to ensure the safety and welfare of the birds involved in any banding project, as well as to ensure that banders gather accurate and complete data.
