DUCK BANDING AT RED ROCKS

A few pictures that did not make it into the Red Rocks post.

The ducks are also adorned "jewelry" so they can be identified in the field from afar.

A year old duck just about to be put in the box awaiting release.

They are released in groups.

Weighing the ducks.  I was surprised at all they recorded on each duck.  They measured the length and width of the bill, the length of the primary flight feather on the left wing, and a couple more that I now have forgot.
