Abstract: In accordance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, 16 U.S.C. 703-712, the trapping and marking of wild migratory birds by persons holding Federal permits must be monitored. Formerly managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the bird banding program is now the responsibility of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL). The primary role of the BBL is to support the use of banding and banding data by researchers and managers engaged in science, conservation, and management of birds, and not to play a lead role in original research. The BBL collects information using three forms and one electronic database: (1) the Application for Federal Bird Banding or Marking Permit, (2) Bird Band Recovery Report, (3) permit renewal form, and (4) an electronic database (Bandit).
