Waterfowl Banding Efforts Expand Across Iowa
Iowa conducts a nationwide waterfowl banding program with emphasis in Eastern Iowa. About 200 wood ducks were banded at Swan Lake in Johnson County this summer, part of an annual goal to band around 1,600 wood ducks statewide. Bands help biologists track migration, seasons, food, and nesting habitat, with notable success in geese populations and cross country recoveries.
