Abstract
A few more than one-third of the goose and brant bands recovered by hunters were reported to the Bird Banding Laboratory (a rate of 0.361) during the 1962-64 hunting seasons. We calculated this band-reporting rate by comparing the estimated number of goose and brand bands recovered by hunters, based on a mail questionnaire survey,with the number of bands actually reported to the Bird Banding Laboratory. This band-reporting rate is probably representative only of the 1962-65 period. It is likely that, in earlier years, a great proportion (perhaps about 0.60) of recovered goose and brant bands were reported.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
