We use the garcelon method, there’s been great research done on this method showing null effects on birds.

This recapture shows how important banding wildlife is to continue to learn about their natural history. If you find a banded bird, submit the number to reportband.gov!
*This bird was trapped and banded under federal and state permits through the Raptor Resource Project*

We’ve been in contact with Marek Plater, his original bander who banded him on Lehigh Furnace Gap and was thrilled to hear about his recapture.

Since he is now backpacked with telemetry, we will hopefully be able to continue to follow his journey and potentially know long he lives.
