Bird Band

Haven’t found too much lately, and am so desperate for finds to write about, I’m down to what the birds are dropping.

Found me a bird band this morning.  I knew birds were banded for research and all, but who knew this was “a thing” you could find with a metal detector.  Well duh, its metal, isn’t it?  (Well so are Super Bowl rings, and I am still waiting for my first of those).

So yeah, of course there is a web site you can enter the id, and of course I entered it, and it told me my bird was a Canada goose from Lac Nutillilik 75 km N Kuujjuaq, Quebec Canada, banded 07/31/1997.

So that’s that.  Other finds lately, another toasted IH, and a 1946 rosie.
