We had a wonderful hunt recently at the lease in the sleet/rain in Central Texas and my son bagged a banded Gadwall. He entered the number in the BBL website and found out the duck had been banded in 2013 as a duckling in SE Oregon. He must not have liked the Pacific Flyway so he switched to Central.
Curious where other banded ducks killed in Texas originate. I saw the recent post from the coast of a Redhead banded in Saskatchewan.
We interrupt this marriage for the hunting season.

We killed a banded sandhill crane in 2011 out in West Texas. It was banded in Nebraska in 2004.

Someone posted a cool website here about a year ago that was a virtual map of exactly what you are looking for, but I can't remember the name of the website. Maybe someone will repost it.

I've shot a few banded Woodies in East Texas and they all seemed to come from Iowa. Shot a Mallard that came from Minnesota.
I think there was an article on here a little while back about a banded bird (a dove I think)that was like 13 years old?

Here ya go... Hours of entertainment value: I played with it and this setting shows where the 78 banded coots were recovered in tx. (Ultimate trophy) band recovery website (set to coots recovered in tx)

Buddy of mine shot a banded speckle belly this weekend. From north of the Arctic Circle near Canada, about 12 years old. Looks amazing.
Coastal Prairie & Matagorda Bay system. Sic'em.

I've killed 4 mottled ducks that were banded and 2 were banded at McFaddin, one was banded at Anahuac and one in Brazoria County. I've also shot a Specklebelly that was banded in DeadHorse, Alaska.

I shot a pintail a couple weeks ago that was banded in Ipswich, SD 8/30/04. I thought that was rather impressive.

My band came from eBay, not sure where yet
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

I've killed a pintail, blue winged teal, and mottled duck in Texas and the pintail and teal were banded in Saskatchewan and the Mottled Duck at Anahuac NWR about 10 miles from where I killed it. I also have killed 2 mallards in Oklahoma, one was banded in Saskatchewan and the other in North Dakota
I'm with GK because I like salty old dudes.

The biggest distances I've seen were brant I shot in obregon Mexico that were banded north of the arctic circle at barrow AK. Buddy shot a banded wigeon in Mexico City that was banded in NE Canada. My son shot a banded redhead that was banded in Thunder Bay Ontario which I bilieve is the eastern flyway.
