Was involved in Piping Plover research for many years and easiest way to read the band was to photograph them. Goose pic all 6 birds are banded. Funniest band story was in college we found a roadkill Peregrine falcon, took band off and sent it to the bird banding lab (didn’t know to call them in back then) and said we had shot a banded mallard with the enclosed band…..never did hear back which was probably a good thing.
