Highlights from 2020: Bird Bandings and Encounters

Release Date: February 24, 2021 An overview of the USGS Bird Banding Laboratory’s successes in collection and curation of bird banding data in the last year, featuring some of the remarkable bird bandings, recaptures, and encounters from 2020. In 2020, the Bird Banding Laboratory reached an impressive milestone celebrating its 100-year anniversary. For a century, the BBL in collaboration with the Bird Banding Office of the Environment and Climate Change Canada, has administered the North American Bird Banding Program and maintained a database of over 77 million records of banded birds and 5 million encounters of those banded birds. In 2020 alone, the NABBP received over a half a million banding records and almost 80,000 encounters of previously banded birds (see Figure 1 and 2). In comparison, in 2019 over 900,000 birds were banded. This reduction in banding data received at the lab is a consequence of reduced efforts likely due to COVID-19 restrictions that limited lar

What Scientists Have Learned From 100 Years Of Bird Banding

Paul Bartsch, a mollusk researcher at the Smithsonian Institution, wondered whether the aquatic snails he was studying could be spread from one body of water to another by aquatic birds. To find out, he needed to track the movements of birds. Bartsch hatched a plan. He fastened lightweight aluminum rings inscribed with the year, a serial number and a Smithsonian return address around the legs of 23 nestling black-crowned night herons that he captured along the Anacostia River outside Washington, D.C. And then Bartsch waited for news of the banded birds where they were sighted, what had become of them.

Where Will Rocky the Northern Saw-whet Owl Spend the Holidays?

Sign the Pledge Nearly a month ago, while setting up the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, workers found an unexpected present. Tucked into the base of the massive spruce tree, which had been cut down near Oneonta and transported to Manhattan, was a Northern Saw-whet Owl. The bird, appropriately named Rockefeller “Rocky” the Owl, has since become a national celebrity. The charming female saw-whet with its big, cartoonish eyes captured the hearts of millions. Some have even written beats inspired by their feathered muse.  In late November, Rocky was transported back upstate following several days of treatment at Ravensbeard Wildlife Center. However, many questions remain: How did she get there? Where will she go next?
