Banded Woody back from the Taxidermist

[MRH]

I'll have to remember the name of this taxidermist. This is a beautiful mount. Wood ducks are some of the most beautiful animals in the world.

They certainly are! I never get tired of shooting woodies. Never limited out... if I get 2 in a morning, I'm a happy camper.

Beautiful woodie....
You said the woodie was 9 years old.

I had a conversation with a banding team member as they were netting and banding one weekend at the local park we were visiting..What I found interesting while discussing banding was he said the most banded duck in history was a mallard drake somewhere up north that was netted and banded n even rebanded and recorded 32 times!!...
He said the duck lived in a area that was banded 2twice a year and the duck was caught/banded recorded twice a year for 16years..

Finally one year he fell off the radar and was never recorded again?..
